Handle Removal of Covenants Without Stalling Your Project


A restrictive covenant sitting on a title can block a renovation, a second dwelling or a subdivision long after the reason it was created has stopped being relevant to the property. Finding this out midway through planning, once a design is already drawn up, is one of the more expensive ways to discover a covenant exists.

Removal of covenants in Victoria requires precise title and site data, a compliant application and the right legal pathway, and getting any of these wrong risks delays, rejection or a costly redesign. It is a technical and legal process best guided by a licensed surveyor working alongside a solicitor rather than attempted alone.

How the Process Works

A covenant can be removed by applying to the Supreme Court of Victoria, applying for a planning permit to remove or vary the restriction, or requesting an amendment to the planning scheme, depending on which mechanism suits the title. Linear Land Surveying reviews the covenant, prepares the required data and plans, and manages the application through to a registered outcome, with most straightforward matters completed in three to six months.
