Bellarine Architecture & Interiors

We optimise site orientation, glazing, shading, and envelope performance to meet NatHERS targets and comfort goals, then coordinate with energy assessors so compliance is embedded in the construction drawings.

It depends on the council, but yes, if the lot size is under 300 sqm and/or the property overlays trigger a planning permit. All renovations and new homes require a building permit. We check zones/overlays (heritage, neighbourhood character, flood/coastal, vegetation) during feasibility and outline the likely pathway and timing.

Everything needed for accurate pricing: planning drawings, coordinated working drawings, specs & schedules, and consultant inputs (land survey, structural, energy, building surveying if relevant). It’s builder-ready documentation.

 This is very project-specific. Once the scope is determined, we can give you an indication of typical timing. Council timeframes and overlays can extend this -we flag risks up front.
