We recommend that prior to submitting an application you read
Melbourne Planning Scheme - do I need a permit? and check
City of Melbourne maps to find out what planning controls apply to your property. You can also request
pre-application advice.
If you are unfamiliar with the assessment and review processes, you should also read the Guide to Victoria's planning system by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP).
Once you’ve decided to submit a planning application, you need to ensure you submit all of the required documentation with your application and that you pay the applicable fee.
