2. Victoria’s planning system 11
2.1 Victoria’s planning system Victoria’s planning system 13 Planning is essentially about the use, development and protection of land in the present and long-term interests of the community. Planning in Victoria is principally implemented through the Planning and Environment Act 1987. The state’s planning objectives are to ensure the strategic and orderly use and development of land with regard to environmental, social, heritage and community interests. Key organisations within Victoria’s planning system are: Planning and responsible authorities Planning authorities develop and amend planning schemes to give direction on how broader state planning policies will be achieved or implemented in the local context. Responsible authorities manage the day-to-day administration of the local planning scheme. They process applications for planning permits and enforce the scheme and conditions incorporated in planning permits. Usually, the planning and/or responsible authority is the local council. Minister for Planning The minister has overall responsibility for the state’s planning legislation and framework. In addition, the minister has wide-ranging powers to grant exemptions from complying with legislative requirements, make directions to planning authorities and responsible authorities, approve planning scheme amendments, and review cases where there is an issue of state policy or a need to intervene in order to expedite the process. Department of Sustainability and Environment At the policy level, the department administers the planning framework. It also supports the minister to fulfil his responsibilities under the Act. Panels and advisory committees The Act requires the minister to appoint a panel to consider submissions required to be referred to it under the Planning and Environment Act 1987. The minister may also set up advisory committees to provide advice on particular planning issues as required. Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Parties aggrieved by the planning decisions of responsible authorities may appeal to the tribunal for a review of the decision.
