What is building in Mount Waverley, Glen Waverley and Knox like?
Monash and Knox are established suburbs, with many homes built from the 1950s to the 1980s on generous blocks. Plenty of those homes are now at the end of their life, which is why knockdown rebuilds and side-by-side homes are common around Mount Waverley, Glen Waverley and Rowville.
Planning applications here go to the Cities of Monash and Knox (monash.vic.gov.au); the building permit comes from a registered building surveyor.

Knocking down in Monash or Knox?
- Homes built before the 1990s can contain asbestos, which a licensed removalist takes out before demolition.
- Planning overlays (heritage, vegetation, flooding) are on your property report from VicPlan; send us the address and we will look.
- Two or more homes on one lot need a planning permit from the council.
- A soil test and a feature and level survey set the slab design and show site costs early.
