You may require this permit if you intend to change the use of land, construct a building or make other changes to the land.
Planning schemes regulate the use and development of land in Victoria, and each council has its own planning scheme. A planning permit allows a certain use and / or development on a specified parcel of land.
Requirements for permits vary for each council - even minor changes may need a planning permit. You will need to discuss your proposal with your local council to determine if a permit is required before you develop or change the use of your land.
More complex applications, relevant to Victoria’s major transport, renewable energy and infrastructure projects, may require engagement with the State Project Concierge. For more information, please see here.
