Yes, many older streets and precincts in Brunswick sit under heritage overlays. That doesn’t stop you buying or renovating, but external changes or demolition usually need a council permit. We’ll check the overlay, explain what it means for your plans, and make sure it’s properly disclosed in the contract/Section 32.
The suburb contains a mix of General Residential Zones, Commercial Zones, and Growth Areas. Before committing, you should confirm the zoning on the property’s planning certificate, check for any overlays, including heritage, environmental, or development restrictions.
