Background

The BVRT was established to help keep the state’s building and development industry running through the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The BVRT invited the development and construction industry to submit applications for fast tracking planning approvals of building and construction projects of state and regional significance across Victoria that are shovel-ready yet held up in the planning system.

Based on that advice, the Minister for Planning is considering preparing an amendment to the Port Phillip Planning Scheme under section 20(4) of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 to introduce a Clause 45.12 Specific Controls Overlay and associated incorporated document to the site to facilitate the proposed use and development generally in accordance with a draft incorporated document.
