What is a Town Planning Permit ?

Unlike a building permit that assesses the structural integrity of a building, Town planning looks at the suitability of a development and use in an area. The nature of development and use on a site is dictated by the zone the site is located within, the overlays that affect the site and the purposes of these Zones and Overlays.

Town Planning applications are lodged with Council’s Town Planning Department. Town Planning drawings, Town Planning report, Certificate of Title and associated fees are the minimum requirements at lodgement. Council will assess, advertise and make a decision on the application. Council’s decision can be contested at VCAT (Tribunal) by the applicant (or objector in certain instances).

 

Do I require a Town Planning permit?

Depending on the Zone the subject site is in and the Overlay that affects the site, a development or use maybe exempt from Town Planning requirements, prohibited or require a Town Planning Permit. 

 

 

To determine if a Planning Permit is required for your proposed use and development, you may contact your local Council Office or Absolute Planning Solutions with your Certificate of Title and Planning Certificate (or just the address of the property and Absolute Planning Solutions will take care of the rest).
