We're in the process of introducing built form and design requirements for private development in parts of Fitzroy and Collingwood.

There are currently no permanent requirements to guide growth and new development in these areas. This is your opportunity to help shape the way growth and development happens in your neighbourhood.

What are the proposed changes?

We are proposing to introduce requirements for new developments that would cover things like:

• Building heights
• Building design 
• How far developments must be set back from the road. 

These requirements would be introduced into the Yarra Planning Scheme through Design and Development Overlays (DDOs).

A DDO is a planning tool that is applied to areas such as shopping strips and old industrial areas that need specific requirements to guide the built form and design of new development.

We want your feedback on the proposed DDOs to help decide whether they become permanent controls and how they will be implemented. 

More information

More information, including a map outlining the areas the DDOs would apply, is available on our Your Say Yarra website.
