How to Apply for a Planning Permit
YOU MUST GIVE FULL DETAILS of your proposal and attach as many supporting documents as possible.
A meeting with a Council Planning Officer prior to lodgment of an Application for Planning Permit will help to resolve design issues and identify the information to be submitted to facilitate a speedy consideration of the application.
A Guide to Pre-Application Meetings in Monash
If you do not give enough detail or give a suitable description of the proposal, you will be asked for more information. This WILL DELAY your application.
- Give your full name or the name of the company.
- Give your full postal address and your contact phone number.
- Give the street number, street name, town and postcode, and the lot number and lodged plan number or Title particulars.
- If you attach a plan, include:
- the boundaries of the land and their measurements.
- the street it faces, the nearest intersecting street, the distance from this street and the name of all streets on the plan.
- the direction of north and the scale of the plan.
- Complete this section if the applicant is not the owner; otherwise indicate "applicant".
- Describe fully what you want to do with the land. The application must include a plain English description of the proposal that clearly conveys the nature of the proposal. This will be used in any notice about the application. Attach additional information if there is insufficient room.
- Attach a plan to show details of the proposal development.
- Briefly describe the current use of the land and any buildings.
- If a permit is required to develop land, you must give the estimated cost of the development. This is used to assess the amount of any fee you may have to pay.
- Development here refers to the buildings and works you intend to construct on the land. If no buildings or works are proposed and you only intend to change the use in an existing building or on the land, the word 'NIL' should be written in this square.
- The responsible authority will tell you the fee you have to pay.
- Any material submitted with an application including plans will be made available for public view and copies may be made to interested parties for the sole purpose of enabling consideration and review as part of the planning process under the Planning and Environment Act 1987.
Have you:
- Answered all the questions?
- Included payment to cover the application fee, if required?
- Attached all the maps, plans, photographs and other documents?
- Included a list of all the documents?
- The responsible authority will tell you how many copies of each document it needs.
Remember it is against the law to give false or misleading information. You may receive a heavy fine and your permit may be cancelled.
