| Statutory Planning (planning permits) | | The Statutory Planning Department is responsible for the administration of controls of land use and development controls.
These controls are contained for the most part within the Alpine Planning Scheme and operate via a system of zoning and overlays.
The Alpine Planning Scheme indicates if a planning permit is required to change the use of land, or to construct a building or make other changes to land such as earth works.
Please note that as Council Planning Officers are available by phone after 1pm Monday to Friday, that all counter enquiries should be pre-booked by ringing (03) 5755 0555.
Contact the Council's Planning Department if you have an enquiry in relation to the Alpine Planning Scheme and the implication it has on any existing or proposed land use or development in the Shire.
A Council Planning Officer will advise when a planning permit is required, and provide guidance on the information required to be submitted.
The Council is particularly keen to encourage the submission of properly prepared, fully documented applications, and undertakes to reward those applications with a priority service.
The Planning Department can be contacted by telephone on (03) 5755 0555, or you may make a request for information on line by completing the following online form. See below for more information:
