A clear relationship between house, canopy and garden can deliver more value than simply maximising building footprint. TURNER+ works across new homes, renovations, extensions, feasibility, beginning with the qualities and constraints of the actual property rather than a predetermined style.

Mount Waverley’s planning context is strongly shaped by low-scale garden character, varied Monash landscape-character precincts and the adopted activity-centre structure plan. Check whether the address is in the activity-centre boundary, residential zone, vegetation/flood overlay or a specific landscape-character precinct. Assess slope, canopy and garden setbacks early. This is suburb-level context only: current controls, schedules, title conditions and the responsible authority must be verified for the individual address before control-specific advice is published or relied on.
