Planning Services

Planning considers the way land is used and developed, and how this impacts the character and liveability of an area.

Planning is influenced by government policies, community needs, population growth, and environmental changes.

A planning permit is a legal document that gives you permission to use or develop land in a certain way. Your planning permit ensures your plans comply with the Alpine Planning Scheme. 

The Alpine Planning Scheme, approved by the Victorian Government, outlines objectives, policies and controls for the use, development, and protection of land.

We completed a Planning Scheme Review in 2023 to assess its effective and relevant against strategies, policy, and direction.
