Planning permits and services
Statutory Planning processes planning permit applications to ensure they comply with the Boroondara Planning Scheme.
Statutory Planning is about land use and development control. Planning decisions may be about the size of a shopping centre, a new housing development, the removal of a tree, or a medical centre.
Statutory Planning decisions affect the natural and built environment. The City of Boroondara is responsible for statutory planning for most of the municipality.
Land use and development is controlled through the Boroondara Planning Scheme, which contains Victorian and local policies and divides the city into zones of preferred land use. The Scheme sets out whether a planning permit is required for use or development in the various zones.
Important advertising dates over the holiday period
If your planning permit application requires advertising, please note that there are extended advertising periods over the Christmas holiday period.
Advertising NOT completed by Monday 21 December 2009 MUST continue through to 1 February 2010. Therefore any advertising STARTED on or after Tuesday 8 December 2009 must run for the period through to Monday 1 February 2010.
It is therefore recommended that if your planning permit application may require advertising and you have been requested to provide further information in order for us to process the application, you return the further information by THIS FRIDAY 27 NOVEMBER 2009. This will ensure the advertising can be completed by Monday 21 December 2009.
