Secondary Consent Application - Online Form

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. So jump on the SPEAR website to do this.
