Planning information meetings are an opportunity for everyone involved in or affected by a planning permit application to discuss issues in an open forum.

These meetings are also an opportunity for the town planner to explain the next steps in the planning permit process.

Meeting times and locations

Generally meetings take place during office hours at our planning office at 137 - 149 Mercer Street in Geelong.

Interested parties

Planning information meetings give people who have objected to a planning permit application an opportunity to sit down with the applicant and a town planner and discuss their concerns.

At these meetings we encourage positive involvement and suggestions for improvement or solutions.

Outcomes

Some objectors may decide to withdraw their objection after attending a planning information meeting. Others may decide that their objection should remain registered against the application.

We will consider all issues when making a decision on the application.
