The City of Whitehorse lists Surrey Hills as shared with the City of Boroondara, so the planning rules for an address sit in either the Boroondara or the Whitehorse Planning Scheme. Check which council the address is in first.

Boroondara's Heritage Overlay schedule lists the Ross Street Precinct, the Union Road Residential Precinct, the Surrey Hills Redvers - Kennealy Street Residential Precinct and the Surrey Hills English Counties Residential Precinct, and Whitehorse's lists the Windsor Park Estate, Surrey Hills. Parts of the suburb are in each. Boroondara's schedule marks Jefferies House at 7 Warwick Avenue as on the Victorian Heritage Register. Check the address against the Heritage Overlay before you plan works.

Boroondara heritage amendments naming Surrey Hills include C412boro and C422boro. C412boro would apply the Heritage Overlay to six individually significant places in Camberwell, Balwyn, Kew and Surrey Hills on a permanent basis, and as at 13 August 2026 its status was adoption under consideration. C422boro would apply it to two individually significant places in Kew and Surrey Hills, and as at 6 October 2026 its submissions were under assessment.

Parts of Surrey Hills are in the Special Building Overlay, and parts of the Whitehorse side are in Vegetation Protection Overlays. Ask the council about these overlays at the address before you make an offer.
