The Planning Permit Toolkit

Understanding Clause 54 and how a planning permit application actually comes together.
Council will ask for a specific set of documents, drawings and reports, and unless you know what each one is for, it's hard to tell whether everything has been covered before submission, or judge how strong your application actually is.

What it's about: 
How the Victorian planning system works, your zone, your overlays, and the design standards that shape what's achievable on your site, so you understand the decisions being made on your behalf, not just receive them. What belongs in a lodgement package and why, how to read council correspondence like a Request for Further Information without panicking, and the common mistakes that delay applications.

What's included:
•    The full two-part guide
•    A town planning drawing set checklist
•    A full application lodgement checklist

Who it's for: 
Victorian homeowners with no planning background who want to understand what's being prepared on their behalf, or who are working alongside a consultant and want a reference of their own.
