Oakleigh was called Scotchmans Creek until 1853, when the township was surveyed and given its present name. Eastern Skip Hire delivers skips across Oakleigh, from the heritage streets around the station to the apartments above the shops.

Oakleigh’s 3166 postcode also covers Hughesdale, Oakleigh East and Huntingdale, all in Monash. Across Warrigal Road, Malvern East is in Stonnington, with its own permit rules.

A skip on the street in Oakleigh

On your driveway, no permit is needed. On the road or nature strip, the City of Monash wants a permit first, and the skip company applies for it, so we arrange it when the skip can’t fit on your property.

Heritage streets, demolition and trees

About one Oakleigh address in eight is in one of three heritage precincts around the station, by our count of Vicmap addresses.

In those precincts, demolishing a building, even a garage or shed, needs a planning permit under the heritage overlay, by our reading of the scheme. Check with Monash before you book a skip for a demolition.

Since 31 March 2026 the heritage streets have been in the Housing Choice and Transport Zone (Amendment GC270), so the state-wide canopy rule below applies to their garden trees, by our reading.

A state-wide rule applies on top of that. In most residential zones (not Low Density Residential), Clause 52.37 needs a permit to remove, destroy or lop a canopy tree at least 5 m tall with a canopy averaging at least 4 m across. On a block with a house, that narrows to trees with any part of the trunk within 6 m of the narrowest street frontage or 4.5 m of the rear boundary. A dead tree is exempt. Look up your block on VicPlan, or ask the council, before you cut.

Scotchmans Creek

Scotchmans Creek forms Oakleigh’s northern edge, with a linear park and walking trail along it.

The SES lists Oakleigh among the places in Monash at risk of flooding, and names Atkinson Street, where it crosses Scotchmans Creek, as a flash-flood spot. If the skip goes on the road, Monash’s permit covers where it can sit.

Common questions

Can a skip go outside a shop in Oakleigh?

Only with a Monash permit, and in Oakleigh’s activity centre Monash allows a skip on the road only between 7am and 9am on weekdays. For a shop fit-out, a spot on private land, such as a rear car park, avoids that window.
