Sunbury Building Inspections

Sunbury is a satellite city located 39 kilometres north-west of Melbourne’s central business district. Its local government area is the City of Hume. Statistically, Sunbury is considered part of Greater Melbourne, as per the Victorian government’s 2009 decision to extend the Urban Growth Boundary in 2011 to include the area, giving its land urban status and value.

Travel just ust 40 minutes north of Melbourne’s busy city centre and discover a region full of renowned vineyards, iconic native wildlife and a rapidly growing foodie scene. Plan out your winery tour over a morning coffee and watch the jumbo jets coming into land at nearby Tullamarine Airport.

There’s more to Sunbury than wine. Take your pick of the expanding line-up of local cafes and eateries on O’Shanassy Street, Sunbury’s popular ‘eat street’. Dine alfresco on leafy sidewalks and sample the finest local produce paired with local varietals. Local favourites include the Spotted Owl and the Roquette Bar & Grill.

The Sunbury South Precinct Structure Plan applies to approximately 1,798 hectares of land generally bounded by Watsons Road and the Jacksons Creek to the south, Gellies Road and the Emu Creek to the north and north-east, the transmission line easement to the east and Vineyard Road to the west. The precinct abuts a number of existing communities within the Sunbury township, including Goonawarra and Jacksons Hill.

The Structure Plans allows for:

• New communities that will consist of almost 40% open space
• Proposed new regional park and conservation network
• 19,000 dwellings to be developed over two decades
• 6,000 local jobs
• Two future trains stations
• Nine new schools
• Two new crossings of the Jacksons Creek, and three new crossings of the railway corridor.
