Cottesloe has some of Perth's most recognised heritage homes, Federation cottages and interwar bungalows on tight blocks near the beach. The Town of Cottesloe applies strict planning controls, so getting a renovation right here starts with understanding the rules before a plan is drawn.
MJD Projects works with Cottesloe homeowners on heritage renovations, interior transformations, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, and extensions. Design, drafting, and construction are handled by one team, so the plans you approve are the plans that get built.
Cottesloe Heritage Requirements
The Town of Cottesloe manages heritage applications alongside general planning approvals, and many homes sit on the local heritage list or the State Heritage Register. Changes to visible facades, materials, and the way an extension presents from the street all need careful handling.
Marcus has more than 20 years with heritage properties across the western suburbs. He knows what the Town of Cottesloe expects and prepares applications built to get a result.
Why Homeowners Choose MJD Projects
Design, drafting, and construction sit under one roof. Plans are drawn to be built, so a decision made early in design doesn't turn into a costly surprise on site. Costs are explained before you commit, drafted plans start from a set fee, and Marcus manages each renovation on-site from start to finish.
