Yes, most home extensions in Port Melbourne require council approval before construction can begin. The City of Port Phillip Council, which covers the Port Melbourne area, has specific building and planning regulations that apply to residential extensions. You'll need to obtain planning permission if your extension affects the external appearance of your property, exceeds certain size limits, or impacts setback requirements from boundaries.
Building permits are also mandatory for any structural work, regardless of whether planning permission is required. These permits ensure your extension meets the National Construction Code and local safety standards. The approval process typically involves submitting detailed plans, design documentation, and sometimes neighbour notifications, depending on your project's scope.
