Amend planning permit

You can apply to amend approved permit applications (section 72), amend current planning application (section 50 and 57A) or request minor changes to the endorsed plans (Secondary Consent).

How do I submit a planning application?

It is recommended you make sure all the relevant documentation is prepared prior to lodging an application. Please refer to the development guidelines and the application for a planning permit checklist(PDF, 574KB) to confirm the requirements.

Please note some of the specific requirements:

• Full, current copy of title information for the land, including title diagrams and copies of any restrictions (e.g. covenants or section 173 agreements). This can be obtained from www.landata.vic.gov.au
• Copy of the document specifying the details of the encumbrance, if the land is affected by an encumbrance such as a restrictive covenant (if identified on the certificate of title).
• Plan of the existing conditions.
• Plans showing the layout and details of the proposal.
• Any information required by the planning scheme, Council’s guidelines, requested by Council or outlined in a Council planning permit checklist
• If required, a description of the likely effect of the proposal (for example: traffic, noise, waste, environmental impacts).

To apply for Secondary Consent, you need to complete the below online application and pay the applicable fee:

Fees

All planning applications have an associated fee.

Planning Application fees are set by the State Government and must be paid before an application can be considered. Please ensure you check your application fees and pay the right amount, otherwise Council may not be able to process your application.

Your application will be taken to have been received on the date the correct application fee is received. If additional fees are required, Council will issue an invoice for the outstanding amount.

When may additional fees be required?

If your application involves a number of permit elements, a combined application fee is likely to apply. The valid application fee is the sum of the highest of the fees which would have applied, if separate applications were made and 50% of each of the other subsequent application fees.

If you require further clarification, please contact Statutory Planning on 9518 3555.
