The land affected by C256morn is an irregular shape and size and is inconsistent with the surrounding subdivision layout and development pattern. Design and Development Overlay, Schedule 3, which affects the land, contains minimum subdivision-area requirements that restrict the land from being subdivided, unless the subdivision is in accordance with an approved Development Plan.

By applying the Development Plan Overlay to the site, Amendment C256morn has allowed a Development Plan to be approved to facilitate the granting of Planning Permit CP22/002 to subdivide the land into two lots. The subdivision provides for an extra, orderly designed residential lot that is consistent with the surrounding subdivision layout, on otherwise underutilised land.

Council decided at the Ordinary Council Meeting on 15 July 2024 to refer submissions to an independent planning panel for review and recommendations.

Under delegation from the Minister for Planning, the Chief Panel Member of Planning Panels Victoria appointed the Panel Chair for C256morn on 24 July 2024.

The Directions Hearing occurred on 26 August 2024. Following the Directions Hearing, the Panel Chair determined on 29 August 2024 that the Panel Hearing would proceed by a written panel process in lieu of a public hearing. This decision was made based on the limited number of parties involved, and the confined issues to be considered.

After reviewing the submissions of both Council and the proponent, the Panel released its report on the combined amendment and permit on 18 September 2024. The report broadly supported the amendment.

Panel-related documents including the panel report and Council’s submission to the panel are available in the Document Library on this webpage.
