Can I choose my own builder in Highlands?

Most estates let you choose any VBA-registered builder, but Highlands will have estate design guidelines (facade, setbacks, fencing, landscaping and build timeframes) that your home must meet on top of City of Hume requirements. Confirm the current design guidelines with the estate sales office and give them to your builder before you sign.

What approvals do I need to build in Highlands?

On a titled lot in Highlands, a new home usually needs a building permit through a registered building surveyor plus estate design approval. City of Hume may still require a planning permit if an overlay applies. Always check the parcel on VicPlan and confirm title registration before building, as you cannot start on an unregistered lot.
