Amendment Application for a Planning Permit or Plans

Under Section 72 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987, any request for amendments to a permit must be made in writing to the Responsible Authority. This section does not apply to a permit issued at the direction of VCAT (Victorian Civil Admininstrative Tribunal), as you will need to apply to VCAT under Section 87 of the Planning & Environment Act 1987, if suitable.

You must ensure that all amendments are clearly highlighted on any new plans you submit and are at the same scale as the plans previously endorsed/assessed by Council. Please be sure to include a written summary of the changes required.

The same statutory timeframes apply to application to amend a permit as does to apply for a new permit application (ie 60 days).

Please note: Council may require your application for amendment to be notified to your neighbours and other interested parties. Remember failure to enclose any relevant fee when lodging an amendment or other matter for consideration by Council, will result in delays in processing your request.

The form attached will also assist you in making a Secondary Consent request to endorsed plans, lodge Plans to Comply with Permit conditions or request an Extension of Time to start and finish a permitted development.
