Get written planning advice from a Town Planning Consultant in the form of a Preliminary Planning Report.

The report is a review of a proposal under the relevant planning scheme and will confirm why a proposal requires a planning permit, or is exempt from requiring a planning permit, as is often required by Building surveyors.

Preliminary Planning Reports are provided within 2-3 business days. The planning permit advice includes:

• • • • what the permit triggers or exemptions are, according to the zone, overlay or particular provisions;
      • the permit trigger or exemption clauses;
      • what exemptions are available even if a permit is required;
      • whether the application is eligible for VicSmart;
      • whether the council offers a “fast-track” planning application process;
      • if a permit is required, what the planning application requirements are;
      • if the planning application will need to be referred to a Referral Authority;
      • if the planning application is exempt from advertising and objections.
