Maximising Backyard Value Across Victoria (VIC)

Across Greater Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, and regional Victoria, suburban block sizes are among the most generous in Australia. Mr Backyards provides Victorian homeowners with an innovative pathway to unlock the capital tied up in their backyards—either by pocketing a cash payout or having a brand-new house built on site at zero financial cost.

Navigating Victorian ResCode & Planning Standards

Victorian land development operates under the state Planning Schemes and Clause 54 / Clause 55 (ResCode) regulations. Our team of experienced Victorian town planners and land specialists take care of every detail:

  • Ensuring strict compliance with Victorian Minimum Garden Area requirements (mandatory 25%–35% area retention).
  • Managing council Planning Permits, Vegetation Protection Overlays (VPO), and Heritage overlays.
  • Securing Statement of Compliance and Plan of Subdivision registration with SPEAR and Land Use Victoria.

Victorian Regions We Service

We work across Melbourne Outer & Inner Suburbs (Northern Suburbs, South Eastern Growth Corridor, Eastern Suburbs, Western Growth Corridor), Geelong & Surf Coast, Mornington Peninsula, Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton, and Gippsland.

Frequently Asked Victorian Subdivision Questions

How does Victoria’s Minimum Garden Area rule impact my backyard subdivision?

Victorian planning laws require residential lots over 400m² to retain a set percentage (25% to 35%) as garden area. Our planners design custom layout proposals that easily meet ResCode garden area rules.

What happens to my current Victorian home during construction?

Your existing house remains completely untouched. You continue living in your home comfortably while all backyard development work occurs behind temporary safety barriers.
