Fees for planning applications and subdivisions

Planning and Subdivision Fees are set by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning.

In Victoria, planning regulations are legislated by the Planning and Environment Act 1987 and Subdivision Act 1988.

The Planning and Environment (Fees) Regulations 2016 set the fees that can be charged by local councils for services.

Yarra has also introduced a Development Contributions Plan levy.

Fees for statutory planning

Refer to the tables below to find the fees applicable to your permit application. GST is not applicable.

Fees are cumulative so you may be required to pay more than one fee for an application. When one or more parts of the application require a planning permit, fees for each part are applicable.

The fee for an application for any combination of the classes of application outlined below is the sum of the highest of the fees which would have applied if separate applications were made and 50% of each of the other fees which would have applied if separate applications were made.

Metropolitan Planning Levy

The Metropolitan Planning Levy was introduced in the 2014 State Budget and commenced on 1 July 2015.

New provisions in the Planning and Environment Act 1987 require a levy payment prior to making a planning permit application for developments valued at over $1 million within metropolitan council areas.

The levy rate is set at $1.30 per $1000 (or 0.13% of the whole value of the development) for affected projects.

Planning permit applicants for proposed development in the Melbourne metropolitan area will need to check whether the levy applies to their proposed development. If required, the levy must be paid to the State Revenue Office to receive a levy certificate.

Responsible authorities in the Melbourne metropolitan area are required to check that, if required, a valid levy certificate is submitted with a planning permit application.

More information, including how to apply for a Metropolitan Planning Levy certificate, can be found on the State Revenue Office website.
