14.01.2022 What planning controls apply to my land? Here are some tips if you’d like to know what planning controls apply to your property, or to any land you are looking to purchase . . . You can obtain a Planning Property Report via the following website: http://planningschemes.dpcd.vic.gov.au... Click on VicPlan to the right-hand side and type in the address. On the next screen, scroll down in the left side bar and choose ‘Create Planning Property Report’ a document you can then download which maps the zone and any relevant planning overlays. On the previous screen there are links for the zone and overlays, which take you to the provisions within the relevant Planning Scheme. All of these provisions are relevant to the property and can limit use and development of the land. The controls usually demand a level of interpretation by a town planner or other professional familiar with planning provisions, but accessing this information can be a useful starting point when considering purchase or development. You can always call your council's Statutory Planning Department with any questions, or make an appointment with their counter planner for pre-application advice. NOTE: - planning controls are different to building regulations and obtaining planning permits and building permits are two separate processes. - a restrictive covenant is a separate tool that will appear on the certificate of title and can affect use and development (e.g. subdivision).

13.01.2022 Tree Removal 101 Tree removal is frequently an issue for home owners, and often comes up at times of renovation or redevelopment. The Vegetation Protection Overlay is a planning overlay that applies to many properties and requires planning permission for the removal of vegetation.... I just wanted to share a few points on the topic that may be useful from a town planning perspective: - Following the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires, the Victorian Government introduced exemptions from the need for a planning permit to remove native vegetation to help reduce fuel load around existing homes. The 10/30 rule allows for clearing around buildings built or approved before 10 September 2009: any vegetation, including trees, within 10 metres of your house; and any vegetation (except for trees) within 30 metres of your house (or 50 metres if covered by the Bushfire Management Overlay). *This only applies to certain municipalities, but includes Frankston and Mornington Peninsula. - The 10/30 rule applies even if your property is covered by the Vegetation Protection Overlay. - If you require planning permission for your renovation or new build, be mindful of vegetation on adjacent properties. Council may require increased setbacks if proposed works will adversely affect your neighbour’s trees - this can occur because the root systems sometimes extend under the boundary line. - If tree removal forms part of a planning permit application, it is likely you will need to provide Council with an Arboricultural Report, prepared by a suitably qualified arborist. Allow up to $1,000 for this service, although it will vary depending on the number of trees. - It is also likely you will be required to provide replacement planting, via conditions should the permit be approved, and this may or may not form part of a landscape plan. - If your property is over 4000m2 in area, you may need to purchase native vegetation offsets if tree removal is approved. NOTE: Trees are so important from an environmental, landscape and habitat perspective and their unnecessary removal should be discouraged. However, tree removal is often an unavoidable feature of redevelopment and the planning system addresses associated impacts as needed.

01.01.2022 Good summary of how this project has avoided public scrutiny. Corporations taking over public space - unusual from a Labor Government.
