Permits and City of Holdfast Bay rules
Whether a roof job here needs approval is for the council to confirm: the State's guide lists re-roofing among the work that typically needs development approval at a State Heritage Place or Area, and routine maintenance among the work that does not.

Slate Roofing around Brighton
The review says the house was constructed in 1920 and is a large residence, "with masonry walls and a slate roof capped with terra cotta ridge tiling." It is a description of one house at review time. It does not say that any particular house is a heritage place today or has a slate roof now.
Ridge tiling in terracotta over slate is a detail a re-slating quote should account for, because it comes off and goes back. Ask the council whether the property is a heritage place, and ask the provider what the quote assumes about the ridge.
