Camberwell is a family renovation stronghold, dominated by Californian bungalows and inter-war homes on 600 to 800 square metre blocks. The suburb sees consistent demand for practical entertainer decks that connect open-plan living to rear gardens. Most projects fall in the 20 to 40 square metre range, featuring integrated stairs to lawn level, recessed LED step lighting, and hardwood construction designed to last through decades of family use.
Permits and local council
Boroondara Council strictly applies Victoria's 800mm deck height permit rule. Decks exceeding this threshold from natural ground level require building permits, and elevated structures near boundaries may trigger additional planning assessment.
Under Victorian building regulations, decks less than 800mm above natural ground level are generally exempt from building permits. However, all deck construction must comply with the Building Code of Australia, and council planning permits may still apply in heritage overlay zones or for structures visible from the street.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit for a deck in Camberwell?
In Victoria, decks less than 800mm above natural ground level typically don't require a building permit, but must still comply with the Building Code of Australia. City of Boroondara may apply heritage overlays in certain areas that trigger additional planning requirements. Your matched builder will advise on permit requirements for your project.
How much does a deck cost in Camberwell?
A 20m² deck in Camberwell typically costs between $5,000 and $14,000 depending on materials and complexity. Treated pine runs $250–$350/m², merbau $350–$550/m², and composite $400–$700/m².
How long does it take to build a deck?
A standard 20m² deck takes 3–5 days of active construction. Total project timeline including permits, materials ordering, and weather contingencies is typically 2–4 weeks from approval to completion.
What's the best decking material for Melbourne's climate?
Merbau hardwood is the default choice for Melbourne — durable, rich in colour, and handles the climate well. Composite decking suits homeowners wanting low maintenance or living bayside where salt air accelerates timber wear. Treated pine works for budget-conscious projects but requires more ongoing maintenance.
