Planning Permit Application - Online Form

We love seeing the city grow and develop and are here to help you with your planning permit every step of the way. If you've done this before, jump straight in.

Wait, is this a subdivision application? 

If it is then you are in the wrong place my friend - 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.

Are you looking for the VicSmart application?

Go to our Vicsmart Application Online form to lodge or gain information on the requirements.
