The Government has expressed concern about particular types of development occurring prior to the introduction of the interim controls, and has proposed new controls that incorporate a fundamental shift from the planning framework that was previously in place.
Urbis is conducting a detailed analysis of the proposed planning controls.
The Melbourne Planning Scheme will not be amended until the full exhibition, submission, panel, and reporting process is complete and considered by the Minister for Planning.
The proposed amendment and supporting documents are available to download from the Department of Land, Water and Planning website.
All formally lodged submissions will be considered and submitters will be invited to present at a Planning Panels Victoria hearing if they wish.
