Manifold Heights: houses, ground and history

Houses went up in Manifold Heights from the 1920s. Volum Street was largely built on by 1933, when Bostock Street had only eight houses. The Girton Crescent Heritage Area, subdivided in 1924 on a 'Garden City' plan around a central reserve, is mostly single-storey timber bungalows, several to standard State Savings Bank designs. Send us your details for a referral to a registered restumper.

Heritage controls are worth checking first here. The Girton Crescent area is a heritage overlay precinct, and the Manifold Emporium on Shannon Avenue has its own overlay (HO763). If your home is in an overlay, speak to the City before work starts, as raising the house or altering how it looks from outside can require a planning permit; the City’s heritage information sheet has the detail.

A builder who restumps or reblocks a home must be registered with the Building and Plumbing Commission, whatever the job is worth. The BPC has a registration class limited to re-stumping and re-blocking. When you get in touch, tell us the street, whether the house is timber or brick, and the signs you’ve seen, like gaps under the skirting or a floor with a bounce in it. We’ll then refer you to one registered restumper who covers Manifold Heights.
