Municipal Planning Strategy
Provides context and sets out the vision and strategic directions for planning in Brimbank.
Project Update - December 2022
Following public exhibition, a report including a summary of submissions was considered at the Council Meeting on 19 April 2022.
At the meeting, Council resolved to endorse a revised draft of the Planning Policy Framework, and refer all submissions for consideration at an independent Planning Panel. This meeting was held on Thursday 16 June 2022.
The Panel Report was presented at the Council Meeting on 18 October 2022 where Council resolved to adopt and submit the modified Brimbank Planning Scheme Amendment C225brim to the Minister for Planning for approval.
Amendment C225brim was submitted to the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning on 2 November 2022 and is awaiting a decision from the Minister for Planning.
We’re seeking feedback on proposed Amendment C225brim to the Brimbank Planning Scheme to guide land use planning and development outcomes across our City.
The proposed amendment was prepared by Council in consultation with the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning. It translates the existing Brimbank Planning Scheme into the new format required by State Government. It also incorporates new planning policy and other land use and development guidance in line with current Council policies and plans.
The review of the Brimbank Planning Scheme involved a report to Council in December 2017, which was provided to the Minister for Planning and subsequent consultation Plan Brimbank undertaken in 2018.
Key differences between the existing scheme and what is being proposed include:
To better understand these differences you can view current existing state and local planning policies of the Brimbank Planning Scheme. The policies listed are specific to Brimbank and should be read alongside state and regional planning policies.
Council anticipates further content to be added to the regional section, particularly when the State Government finalises the draft Western Metro Land Use Framework Plan. The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning recently conducted consultation about the Framework Plan and you can view Council’s submission.
