Demolition in Melton
Melton, north-west of Wyndham, is its own fast-growing city — an older township core surrounded by some of Melbourne's biggest new estates. Demolition here mirrors the west's pattern: knockdown-rebuild and renovation on the older Melton and Melton South blocks, and site preparation and rural clearing on the developing edges. We cover Melton and the surrounding growth corridor, under the City of Melton.

An older core, huge new estates
Melton has an established township at its heart and vast new estates spreading around it. That means demolition here runs from knockdown-rebuild and renovation on the older Melton and Melton South blocks to clearing old rural buildings and preparing growth blocks for new homes.
Knockdown-rebuild and site prep
On the older blocks, clearing an original home for a modern rebuild is common; on the developing edges it's rural clearing and site preparation. Either way the block is left clean, level and builder-ready. See our knockdown-rebuild and house demolition services.
Approvals in the City of Melton
In Victoria demolishing a house is building work: it needs a building permit from a registered building surveyor, and for most demolitions the surveyor must first obtain Melton City Council's Report and Consent under the building regulations. A planning permit is also required where a heritage overlay or certain other overlays apply to the property. Power, gas, water, sewer and telecommunications must be disconnected and made safe before work starts. We're not the permit authority — the council and the building surveyor are — but we deal with demolition approvals constantly, work in with your surveyor and Melton City Council, and flag which approvals a property is likely to need before work begins.
Older homes and asbestos
Melton's older township homes and rural sheds commonly contain asbestos, which is assessed and removed by the correct licensed process before demolition. See our asbestos-aware demolition service.
Common questions
Do you cover Melton as well as Wyndham?
Yes — Melton is part of our patch across Melbourne's outer west. Note that demolition approvals in Melton go through the City of Melton rather than Wyndham City Council; we work in with the right council for your address.
Do you do knockdown-rebuilds in Melton?
Yes — on the older Melton and Melton South blocks, clearing an original home for a modern rebuild is common. The block is left clean, level and builder-ready, scheduled to fit your builder's program.
Are Melton's older homes likely to have asbestos?
Often — older township homes and rural sheds commonly contain asbestos in eaves, linings and shed cladding. It's assessed before demolition and, where present, removed by the correct licensed process first.
