Navigating the Monash Planning Landscape
Designing in the City of Monash presents a unique set of opportunities and challenges. Known for its "Garden City" character, the council maintains a strong focus on landscaping, site coverage, and neighborhood character. Whether you are looking to capitalise on a large allotment in Wheelers Hill or navigating the increasing density in Oakleigh, Dean McCredden provides the strategic insight required for success.
We have extensive experience working within the Monash Planning Scheme, particularly regarding the Vegetation Protection Overlays and the specific setbacks required to maintain the region's spacious suburban feel.
