What is the State Project Concierge?
Some large-scale projects have interactions with several planning, and other regulatory approvals, that aim to protect communities and natural environments. We work together with other state agencies and our communities in a connected way to resolve planning blockages, delays and issues, so that state projects can be assisted to deliver on time.
Our highly skilled team is a bespoke service for state projects such as Victoria’s Big Build, social infrastructure projects and energy investors, with a more efficient process that is easier for proponents to navigate.
Concierge services
We assist applicants to navigate the planning process and agree upfront bespoke, best-for-project planning solutions for state significant projects.
The concierge supports state projects and private-led energy projects of state significance by managing initial queries and working across the Victorian government to coordinate advice.
A facilitated support service is also provided to major projects requiring complex approvals.
The concierge also works with government agencies on their infrastructure pipeline to agree bespoke planning approaches, helping to resolve complex issues and improve certainty in the approval process.
