There is a legal process to enable the planning scheme to be amended. You can find the recent changes to our planning scheme below.

How the amendment process works

  2. Authorisation may or may not be granted by the Minister for Planning, or may granted subject to conditions. 

  3. Public exhibition

    Opportunity for the public, and other key stakeholders, to make a written submission in support of, or objection, to the proposed amendment

  4. Council meeting

    Consideration of all written submissions. Council must then decide to either:

    • change the amendment in the manner requested
    • refer submissions to an independent Panel for review
    • abandon all or part of the amendment
  5. Panel hearing

    Consideration of the submissions by an independent Panel, appointed by the Minister for Planning
