What matters for landscaping & gardening in Melbourne
Melbourne averages only 575 mm of rain a year at Olympic Park, well under half what Sydney gets, but it falls fairly evenly across every month. That combination of a modest total and long dry spells is what drives the summer shrinkage and winter swelling in the city's clay soils.

Under section 148 of the Water Act 1989 you need the water corporation's written consent before building, excavating or landscaping over an easement or close to its water or sewer assets. That catches sheds, tanks, pergolas, decks and fences, and unapproved structures can be ordered out.

Victoria has five internal biosecurity zones that restrict what you can move within the state: phylloxera, potato cyst nematode, the Toolangi Plant Protection District, green snail and tomato yellow leaf curl virus. They catch grapevines, potatoes, nursery plants, soil and the equipment that touched them.

There are six Phylloxera Infested Zones in Victoria and two Phylloxera Exclusion Zones, Western Victoria and the Mornington Peninsula. If you own grapevines, even potted ones, you cannot move them or vineyard soil between zones without a permit, and Agriculture Victoria has an address lookup so you can check a property before moving day.
