Start a New Application
Standard Permit Applications are for most development and land use proposals requiring a full planning assessment.
VicSmart Permit Applications are for eligible low-impact proposals assessed through a faster, streamlined process.
New payment requirements for planning applications
Effective 5 October 2026, under recent changes to the Planning and Environment Act 1987, applications are deemed incomplete until the applicable fee has been paid.
Applicants must pay their invoice within 7 days of issue. Failure to make payment within this period will result in the application being deemed void.
Update an Application in Progress
Request changes, pay outstanding fees, or withdraw an application while it is being assessed.
Request Changes (S50/S57A)
Formal request to Council to amend a current planning permit application.
Pay Application Fees
Pay online for planning fees against an existing application only.
Withdraw an Application
You may wish to withdraw your planning permit application prior to Council deciding on the application.
Changes to an Approved Permit
Request amendments, minor changes, or an extension of time for an existing permit.
Minor Changes (Secondary Consent)
Once you have a planning permit you may be able to make minor changes to your plans, but you will first need to apply for a secondary consent.
Amend an Approved Permit (S72)
If you need to change any planning permit conditions or the approved plans after a permit has been issued, you can apply to us for an amendment to your permit.
Get an Extension of Time
If your planning permit has expired or is due to expire soon, see below on how to apply for an extension of time for a planning permit.
Planning Fees
Find out the fees for your application. Planning fees are regulated under the Planning and Environment (Fees) Regulations 2016 and are GST free.
