Real questions homeowners ask before hiring a glazier in Toorak.
Do I need Stonnington Council approval for glass balustrades in Toorak?
Internal and rear balustrades typically need only a building permit via your surveyor. Street-visible changes in Stonnington heritage precincts may need a planning permit — we provide drawings to support your application.

Stonnington heritage overlays focus on streetscape visibility. Internal and rear balustrades have more flexibility, but front-facing changes may need a planning permit. We advise during the initial site measure.
