Templestowe was orchard country until the 1960s, and the Yarra River runs along its northern edge, with the Westerfolds and Candlebark parklands between the river and the houses. Eastern Skip Hire delivers skips across Templestowe, from family homes on sloping blocks to the low-density bush blocks near the river.

Many Templestowe blocks are big and slope down towards the river. If your driveway is steep, tell us, and we’ll check the skip can sit level and safely.

A skip on the street in Templestowe

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

  • No skips on arterial roads

    Manningham

    Only the skip supplier can apply. Skips aren’t allowed on arterial roads, and a skip on the nature strip or footpath needs prior approval and an asset protection permit.

    Fee: $160 for a temporary permit (up to 7 days), or $935 for an annual permit

Every council’s rule side by side: skip bin permits in Melbourne’s east.

Templestowe homes: big, and long held

Six in ten Templestowe homes have four or more bedrooms, by the 2021 Census.

  • 61.7%of homes have four or more bedrooms (Victoria: 32.6%)
  • 47.0%are owned outright (Victoria: 32.2%)
  • 46is the median age (Victoria: 38)

Big houses held for a long time mean big jobs: a clear-out before downsizing, a renovation, or a garden that’s got away. Those usually need a 6 m³ skip or larger.

Garden clean-ups: Manningham’s lower trunk threshold

About one Templestowe home in five is under a landscape or vegetation overlay, by our count of Vicmap addresses. Their trunk-size threshold is lower than Monash’s, Knox’s or Maroondah’s.

  • Low-density landscape areas (Significant Landscape Overlay Schedules 1 and 6): a permit is needed for Victorian native vegetation; for any exotic or Australian native tree more than 0.35 m round at 1.3 m, or taller than 6 m; and for a dead eucalypt more than 1 m round that stands more than 20 m from a building. Other dead vegetation is exempt, and so are ornamental pruning and a tree whose trunk is within 2 m of the house’s roof or eaves.
  • Yarra River corridor (Schedule 2): a permit is needed to remove vegetation, except small non-native plants, and to build a fence within 30 m of the river bank or next to public open space, such as the parklands, unless it’s low post-and-rail or post-and-wire. That matters if you’re replacing a fence.
  • Digging out: on Schedule 1 blocks, works on a house stay exempt only if they cut or fill no more than 1 m, bring in or take out no more than 50 m³ of soil, and stay out of a protected tree’s dripline. A big dig-out may need a permit, so ask Manningham first.

About 16% of Templestowe homes are in the mapped bushfire prone area, where Clause 52.12 can allow clearing close to the house without a planning permit, with conditions. Manningham’s own advice is to confirm the permit requirements with council before you cut.

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.

Garden waste: what the council takes, and what it doesn’t

Manningham has free or included routes for prunings, but not for everything a big clean-up turns up.

  • Garden waste disposal days, at Mullum Mullum Reserve in nearby Donvale: free for residents of the bushfire prone area, one car boot, ute or 6x4 trailer of branches, prunings and logs up to 250 mm across. No soil, grass clippings, building material or fence palings, and no event on a total fire ban day or a day of extreme fire danger or above. In 2026 the days are Sunday 4 October, 8 November and 6 December, 8am to 4pm.
  • Bundled branches: booked, and sharing the two-a-year allowance with hard rubbish. No large logs, stumps, timber, soil, rubble or fencing.

A bush-block clean-up with stumps, logs, soil and old fencing is what a skip is for: a green waste skip if it’s garden only, a mixed one if not.

Common questions

Is there a tip near Templestowe?

Manningham has no tip of its own, and lists four in other councils. The closest in a straight line, by our measure, is Banyule’s Waste Recovery Centre in Bellfield, about 7 km from Templestowe’s edge; as of October 2026 it isn’t taking rubble, e-waste or garden waste during upgrades, so check its page before you go. The others are in Plenty, Vermont South and Wantirna South.
