Note
- There is no provision for public consultation or advertising. A Secondary Consent provision is not appropriate where the changes would normally require re-advertising.
- The proposal cannot alter what the permit allows.
- The proposal cannot approve changes to any of the conditions of the planning permit.
If we decide that your changes cannot be approved under Secondary Consent, you'll be asked to apply for a Section 72 amendment or a new permit.
Section 72 Amendment
You can apply for an amendment under Section 72 of the
Planning and Environment Act 1987 to change your permit preamble (what the permit allows), permit conditions or make significant changes to your endorsed plans that may impact on other properties.
Fees apply for Section 72 amendments.
The decision making process and appeal rights for a Section 72 Amendment are the same as those for a new planning permit application with one exception.
Sometimes the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) decides that a permit or part of a permit issued can not be amended by the Responsible Authority. This restriction will be on the permit and means that the permit or part of it can only be amended by VCAT.
To make an amendment to a permit that has been restricted by VCAT, you must apply to VCAT under Section 87A of the
Planning and Environment Act 1987.
