Commenting on a Planning Permit Application

The Victorian planning system is set up to ensure that you have the opportunity to comment on a planning permit that may affect you, before a decision is made.

When a planning application is lodged, and it is deemed that it may have an effect on the neighbouring properties, Council will inform surrounding residents by direct mail notification, on-site signage and/or advertisements in the local newspaper. You can also search for al list of all current and past planning applications on Council’s online register.

During this period, and up to the time when a decision is made, a person can make a submission either in support or objection to the proposed permit. Anyone can lodge an objection to a planning permit application, and Council must consider all objections when assessing the application.

For more information on how to lodge and objection, please refer to the ‘Responding to a Planning Permit Application’ fact sheet.
