New look to Banyule Planning Scheme

Published on 11 November 2022

As of 18 November 2022, the Banyule Planning Scheme has been translated into the Planning Policy Framework (PPF), streamlining the operation of planning policy in Victoria using a 3-tier structure that integrates state, regional and local policy.

While the scheme looks different, it is important to note that the policy intent has not changed.

Translation of the scheme

The PPF was introduced for all Victorian planning schemes in July 2018 through Amendment VC148. This is part of the Victorian Government’s Smart Planning Program.

Since then, councils across Victoria have updated their planning schemes to fit into the new structure. This has now occurred for Banyule, with the local policy content contained in the old Local Planning Policy Framework (LPPF) translated, or restructured, into the new PPF and a new Municipal Planning Strategy (MPS).

The translation was policy neutral, meaning it did not change the strategic intent or direction of existing local content or introduce new policies or guidance.

Together, the new PPF and MPS form the new strategic foundation of the Banyule Planning Scheme.

From 1 January 2023, all new planning permit applications will be required to respond to the correct clauses within the new PPF in the Banyule Planning Scheme.
