North vs south: why it matters
A 2023 assessment prepared for the City of Greater Bendigo describes the land north of the city as generally flat, becoming more undulating and hilly to the south, south-west and south-east. In the north, retaining work is often about fill pads, garden levels and drainage near creeks. In the south and around the city centre, it’s more often about cutting into steeper slopes. Read about sloping blocks and drainage.
Growth areas and new estates
The City of Greater Bendigo’s Managed Growth Strategy (2024) names Marong, Maiden Gully, Strathfieldsaye and Huntly as the urban growth areas, and proposes expanding the urban growth boundary at Huntly and Strathfieldsaye. New homes in these areas often need walls between lots, around house pads and along driveways.
Remember that walls on or near a boundary need a building permit at any height in Greater Bendigo. See our permit guide.
