Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Covenant in the Context of Melbourne Town Planning?
A covenant is a private agreement placed on the property title that limits the way the land can be used or developed.
How Can I Find Out if My Property is Subject to a Covenant?
Your title will confirm if the property has a covenant. We have written an article on how to check for a covenant on your title which provides more details on how to confirm if you have a covenant.
How Do Covenants Affect My Planning Application?
Covenants will stop a planning permit being approved if what you want to do is limited by the covenant.
Can a Covenant Be Overridden by Town Planning controls in Melbourne?
No. A covenant will need to be varied or removed and isn’t overridden by town planning controls.
Are you a little further down the line?
As this is a preliminary advice service, it’s not ideal if you’re ready to start the application process or remove or vary your covenant now.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t help you. Learn more about how we can add huge value to your permit application.
