You may need 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 and depend on the scale, complexity, and potential impacts of the proposal. Even minor changes may need a planning permit, so you should confirm requirements with your council before proceeding.
More complex applications, relevant to Victoria's major transport, renewable energy and infrastructure projects, may require engagement with the State Government. For more information, please see here.
