Parts of Fitzroy are in schedules including Brunswick Street Shops, Smith Street Shops, Gertrude Street Shops and Fitzroy West. One schedule, BFO12, describes a new low-rise to mid-rise character, ranging from 4 to 6 storeys, behind a consistent street wall north of Leicester Street and south of Johnston Street. Check the controls at the address before you buy.

The Department of Education lists Fitzroy Primary School at 319 George Street, Fitzroy. Its data does not give Fitzroy High School a Fitzroy address. In Victoria, a child who lives in a government school's zone must be offered a place there, and Find my School is the official source of zones. Check the zone for the address if you are counting on a place.
