Legal services for Noble Park and Noble Park North clients
Noble Park grew from land holdings cut up for market gardens in 1909, and its houses went up quickly in the late 1950s and 1960s. It has a village-style main street beside its elevated station, built when three level crossings were removed in 2018, and Yarraman station serves the south-east of the suburb. Noble Park North lies north of the Princes Highway, between the Springvale cemetery and Dandenong North. At the 2021 Census, 40.3% of Noble Park homes were rented, and 38.1% of Noble Park North homes were owned outright.
We act for buyers, sellers and developers of homes and units, for landlords and tenants of shops, and for families with wills, estates or a separation. Radek Dajer, our principal solicitor, acts personally on each matter, in English or in Polish, and we meet at our Frankston office or by video.
Local note
The former Athol Road Primary School site at 30-40 Athol Road, Noble Park was rezoned for housing through Amendment C240, approved in January 2024, as a pilot site for inclusionary housing.

New planning controls around Noble Park and Yarraman stations allow more housing within walking distance of the stations.
- Activity centres: Springvale, Noble Park and Yarraman are in the state’s Activity Centres Program, and new planning controls took effect on 22 July 2026 through Amendment GC285.
- Noble Park: the plan sets a maximum height of six to eight storeys for most of the centre, to reflect its village character.
- Yarraman: the plan for Yarraman station uses only an outer catchment, smaller than in other centres, because of the limited access to shops and services.
- Catchments: in the walkable catchments around the centres, the controls allow more low-rise apartments and townhouses alongside existing homes.
- Covenants: some older subdivisions carry restrictive covenants on title, for example limiting the number of dwellings. A covenant can prevent a subdivision unless it is removed or varied.
Homes and units in Noble Park and Noble Park North, including investment properties.
- Before you sign: we check the contract, the section 32 statement and the planning controls on the land, including any overlay, and suggest changes while you can still negotiate.
- Cooling-off: for many private sales of residential property, you have 3 clear business days after signing to end the contract. There is none at a publicly advertised auction.
- Owners corporations: units and townhouses with common property are managed by an owners corporation. Read the rules, the fees and any special levies before you sign.
- Selling: most sellers now need an Australian Taxation Office clearance certificate by settlement, whatever the price. Apply early, because it can take some weeks to issue.
Retail leases for the shops, cafes and service businesses of the Noble Park centre, for landlords and tenants.
- Disclosure: for a retail lease, the landlord must give the tenant the Small Business Commission’s information brochure when negotiations start, and a disclosure statement and the proposed lease at least 14 days before the lease is entered into.
- Minimum term: a retail lease, including options, must generally run for at least 5 years, unless the tenant obtains a certificate from the Small Business Commission and gives it to the landlord.
- Disputes: most retail lease disputes must go to mediation at the Victorian Small Business Commission before VCAT can hear them. We act for landlords and tenants at the mediation and, if it does not settle, at VCAT. Non-retail lease disputes are generally heard in the courts.
- Variation: a deed of variation for changes to rent, term, permitted use or area, with advice on whether the change affects disclosure, an option or a guarantor.
Wills, powers of attorney and estates, and separation, property settlement and parenting arrangements.
- Wills: executors, gifts, guardians for young children and testamentary trusts, including for blended families.
- Enduring power of attorney: appoints someone to make financial or personal decisions for you, and continues if you lose capacity. Made under the Powers of Attorney Act 2014 (Vic).
- Executors: probate and administering the estate. Probate applications are filed online with the Supreme Court of Victoria.
- Separation and divorce: are separate legal steps under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth). You do not need to be divorced to settle property or parenting arrangements, and a divorce does not settle them for you.
Selling a parent’s home?
If the home was in a late parent’s sole name, the executor usually needs a grant of probate before the sale can settle. We can run the probate application and the sale together.
Buying in Noble Park
Buying a home, step by step
What happens from the first look at the contract to getting the keys. We explain each step as it comes, in English or in Polish.
01
Contract review
We review the contract and the section 32 statement, including the zone, overlays and any covenant on title, and suggest changes while you can still negotiate.
02
Cooling-off
For many private sales of residential property you have 3 clear business days to end the contract. There is none at a publicly advertised auction.
03
Finance
We work with your lender so the loan approval, the mortgage documents and the settlement date line up with the contract.
04
Duty and adjustments
We calculate land transfer duty and any concession, and the adjustments for council rates, water and owners corporation fees.
05
Settlement
The balance and the duty are paid and the transfer is lodged through an electronic platform such as PEXA. Once settlement is confirmed, the agent can release the keys.

Common questions
Can’t see your question? Call 1800 776 529 or send us a message.
Around Noble Park and Yarraman stations, new controls allow more housing, and most of the Noble Park centre has a maximum height of six to eight storeys. What applies to your land depends on its zone and overlays, which the planning property report shows. We check these before you buy, sell or develop.
The planning property report for your address shows whether a Special Building Overlay or a Land Subject to Inundation Overlay applies. Building on affected land generally needs a planning permit. We check these controls as part of reviewing the contract, so ask us before you buy, build or extend.
If they made an enduring power of attorney, the attorney can act under it. If not, and they have lost capacity, an application to VCAT for an administration or guardianship order may be needed. VCAT hears most guardianship matters in the Melbourne CBD, and some at a venue closer to home, such as Frankston, or by phone or video.
A Magistrates’ Court matter generally goes to the court closest to where it arose or where the other party lives, which for Noble Park and Noble Park North is usually Dandenong. Objector appeals and appeals about permit conditions in Greater Dandenong are usually heard at VCAT Oakleigh.
Our office is at 435 Nepean Highway, Frankston, about 25 to 35 minutes by car via EastLink. Much of the work can be done by phone, video and email, so you may only need to come in to sign documents.
