Amendment C270 Central City Built Form Review

Melbourne Planning Scheme Amendment C270 was prepared by the Minister for Planning in conjunction with the City of Melbourne and was approved on 23 November 2016. The amendment introduced changes to planning controls that guide the built form and development in the central city.

About the amendment

Amendment C270 introduced new built form provisions in the central city, the area made up of the Hoddle Grid and Southbank.

The provisions were developed to provide adequate separation between tall buildings, ensure that public space and important landmarks are protected from wind and overshadowing, and establish  a value capture system to deliver public benefits such as public open space, laneways, community space, or affordable housing.
