Growth and development in Manor Lakes VIC: common questions

Is Manor Lakes still growing?

Yes, though the original estate is well advanced. Growth now comes from remaining stages, townhomes and the land west toward Mambourin and Eynesbury.

Does the station affect inspections?

Not directly, but it has drawn steady buyer demand, which keeps both resale and new build inspections busy.

Who plans the area?

Wyndham City Council, with precinct planning by the state's planning authority for the growth land around it.

Will future works affect my property?

Check the council's planning information for your street. A dilapidation report before major works next door gives you a record if damage is later alleged.
