Planning Permit FAQs on Town Planning
At PPC Urban, we help you navigate the town planning system with clarity and confidence. Here are answers to the most common questions we get about planning permits.
What is a planning permit?
A planning permit is legal permission to use or develop land in a specific way. It includes conditions and plans you must follow. You may need one for dwellings, signage, subdivisions, or changing the use of a property.
What’s the difference between planning and building permits?
Planning permits focus on how land is used and developed. Building permits deal with construction safety and compliance. You need a planning permit first.
What is a pre-application meeting and why is it useful?
It’s a chance to speak with a Council planner about your proposal before applying. You’ll get early advice on policy, application requirements, and potential issues—saving you time and money.
What should I prepare before a meeting?
Review your property zoning on VicPlan, discuss design ideas with your consultant, and speak with neighbours as they may receive notice of your application later.
Do I need a planning permit to build a house?
If your lot is over 300m² in a standard residential zone and not affected by overlays or past permits, you may not need a planning permit. However, overlays or existing restrictions can change this. Contact us to check your site.
