The Blackburn Train and Tram Zone Activity Centre has its own Built Form Overlay schedule in the Whitehorse Planning Scheme, BFO9, from amendment GC285, approved and gazetted on 22 July 2026. The amendment introduced new built form and height controls for the core of each activity centre in its stage, and applied the Housing Choice and Transport Zone to each centre's catchment. Parts of Blackburn are in BFO9 and in the Housing Choice and Transport Zone. Check the controls at the address before you buy.

Parts of Blackburn are in the Land Subject to Inundation Overlay and the Special Building Overlay. Parts are also in Significant Landscape Overlays, Vegetation Protection Overlays and Neighbourhood Character Overlay NCO1.
