Planning

Planning considers the way land is used and developed, and how this impacts the character and amenity (liveability) of an area. A planning permit allows for works such as subdividing land, development and use, tree removal, or operating a business or other commercial activity. Planning permits are issued by Surf Coast Shire, VCAT or the Minister for Planning.
