FAQs

Do I need a council permit for a site cut?

Yes, in most Melbourne metropolitan areas, you will need approval for a site cut. Any major earthworks, especially on sloping blocks, areas near boundaries, or sites with basements, require planning approval.

Water may flow into your house if you do not grade the slope. Can cause floods or soil erosion. The site is being stabilized by benching, draining, and constructing retaining walls.

It may vary based on factors such as block slope, soil classification, and access.

Site cut removes excess soil entirely. On the other hand, cut and fill excavates high points and reuses that soil to fill low areas.

For a standard suburban block, expect anywhere from 1 to 5 days for the excavation itself. Steeper or rockier sites can stretch to a couple of weeks.
