Need to make changes to your endorsed plans?
Do you have the following condition specified on your permit?
"The use and/or development as shown on the endorsed plan(s) must not be altered without the written consent of the responsible authority".
If so, you may be eligible to apply for a Secondary Consent if your request meets the following criteria:
- The changes must not transform the permit to a use or development that was not previously considered and approved
- The changes cannot be contrary to any condition in the original permit
- The changes cannot be those that would trigger an additional planning permit under the Brimbank Planning Scheme
- The changes must not cause material detriment to the surrounding area as there is no advertising associated with a Secondary Consent
- The description of what is allowed by the permit cannot be altered by Secondary Consent
- The permit conditions cannot be varied or deleted by Secondary Consent
- The changes must not cause material detriment to the surrounding area as there is no advertising associated with a Secondary Consent
The responsible authority will determine whether the request for a Secondary Consent meets the above criteria. If it does not, a planning officer will advise you of how to apply for an amendment to a permit or a new planning permit application.
Wait, is it a subdivision application you need to change/amend?
If it is, then you're in the wrong place - subdivision applications are processed through SPEAR and can only be lodged by a registered Land Surveyor.
