How to construct buildings or works in an overlay

To do your own planning application for constructing a fence in an overlay as a VicSmart application, the first step is to check if your application is eligible for the VicSmart process. This will ensure that your application meets the following criteria:

  1. The land is in one of the following overlays:
    • Environmental Significance Overlay
    • Significant Landscape Overlay
    • Design and Development Overlay
  2. Does not trigger a permit under another part of the planning scheme

If the fence is on a corner allotment you may need a building surveyor.
