Do you love architecture and design? Or are you planning to build or renovate in Boroondara? Our new Boroondara Design Excellence Guide is here to help.
All our collective building design decisions, from the texture of exterior materials to where you place a garage, have an impact on your neighbourhood and our municipality as a whole. That’s why we’ve produced the Boroondara Design Excellence Guide – to promote great design and help you achieve it, increasing livability for all our community.
This straightforward guide will make it easier than ever to start planning a renovation or new building, from a small home extension to a large mixed-use development. It brings together our existing design-related policy requirements from the Boroondara Planning Scheme, with tools and tips for design best practice.
