New Renovation Plans
We Need Your Help!
Since 1973, Eltham Veterinary Practice has been serving the pet owners of Nillumbik and surrounds by treating their beloved pets. After half a century of continual growth, particularly in the last few years, we are getting to the point where our premises need some expansion to keep improving the services our clients require.
Many of you would have experienced a crowded waiting room at times. Also, there are times when we don’t have enough space for in-patients and surgery cases, sometimes meaning that non-essential surgery gets delayed.
We have submitted plans to council to expand the floorplan of the clinic above and behind the existing building as well as increase the off-street parking.
You may be aware that, historically, getting planning permission through Nillumbik can be an arduous process for numerous reasons. Not the least of these reasons include vocal groups who oppose any changes to the street scape or to business development.
We have been advised that one way to help offset the effects of these small but vocal groups is to have ample evidence from the local community that there is strong support for an improved veterinary facility in Eltham by having locals provide a supportive submission directly to the council.
Interested In Checking Out Our Plans?
You are invited to come and inspect our planning proposal plans at Eltham Veterinary Practice (displayed in the waiting room), we believe the changes will significantly improve you (and your pets) experience at the Veterinary Practice without significantly impacting the local environment.
We plan a second story largely be hidden from the road and a new drive-in customer carpark right outside the front door of the waiting room.
You can view our plans online by clicking the button below and going to ‘View current advertised planning applications’.
