Kingston City Council Conveyancing

Professional local conveyancing for Cheltenham, Moorabbin, Mentone, Mordialloc, Parkdale and surrounds

Kingston is a diverse, busy part of Melbourne’s south-east.

It’s framed by the beaches of Mentone, Parkdale and Mordialloc at the front, while the long Nepean Highway corridor cuts right through the middle, running from Moorabbin all the way to Carrum. This major arterial isn’t just busy traffic-wise — it also shapes zoning, future VicRoads widening reserves and noise considerations that can directly affect property buyers and sellers.

Then there’s Moorabbin Airport, Australia’s busiest light aircraft airport by aircraft movements, sitting squarely in the heart of Kingston. Its presence brings aviation noise contours and planning constraints that can influence new builds and renovations.

This combination of bayside living, heavy arterial infrastructure and the airport means Kingston properties are subject to a unique mix of planning overlays, covenants and local considerations that a simple contract review can easily overlook.

Local risks and issues in Kingston conveyancing

When handling property transactions in Kingston City Council, we’re always careful to check:

  • EPA flagged sites, particularly in Moorabbin’s older industrial precincts, which may require environmental disclosures.

  • Drainage reserves and Melbourne Water overlays, still common due to Kingston’s network of old watercourses and low-lying land, especially inland from Mordialloc Creek.

  • Heritage overlays, which are frequently found around Mentone, Parkdale and sections of Mordialloc’s historic streetscapes.

  • Aviation noise restrictions tied to Moorabbin Airport, impacting permissible building heights and certain extensions.

  • Restrictive covenants on titles, especially in post-war subdivisions limiting dual occupancies or multi-unit developments.

  • Owners Corporation obligations, increasingly relevant with new townhouse and apartment builds along the Nepean Highway spine.

  • VicRoads and council road-widening interests, particularly affecting commercial frontages on the Nepean Highway.

Why buyers and sellers in Kingston rely on us

Joanne and I have acted in countless matters throughout Kingston for more than 25 years.

We’ve seen buyers caught off guard by aviation overlay restrictions, old drainage easements that halted plans for pools or rear extensions, and even EPA flagged land they didn’t know about until it was too late.

We know Kingston inside out — from beachfront lots to shopfronts on the Nepean to homes under the approach path of Moorabbin Airport — and we check everything properly to protect your position.

Selling in Kingston?

If you’re selling, we’ll prepare your Section 32 with Kingston’s unique local issues in mind. That means:

  • Verifying zoning, overlays and council flood or drainage notations.

  • Checking for aviation restrictions if you’re near Moorabbin Airport.

  • Running thorough EPA checks for flagged sites and surrounding influence areas.

  • Reviewing Owners Corporation certificates to ensure all fees, maintenance and special levies are accurately disclosed.

We also examine your contract to keep general and special conditions balanced, and to structure your Section 27 early deposit release properly, so buyers can’t hold back funds on technicalities.
