Melbourne Planning Scheme Amendment C385 implements the West Melbourne Structure Plan by introducing new tailored planning controls in the Planning Scheme.
This will guide the use and development of land and celebrate the character of West Melbourne as outlined in the Structure Plan.
The West Melbourne Structure Plan was endorsed by the Future Melbourne Committee in February 2018.
The West Melbourne Structure Plan Committee considered Amendment C309 due to a loss of quorum at the Council meeting that was due to consider adoption of the Amendment. The Committee resolved to refer Amendment C309 to the Minister for Planning and request that the Minister for Planning prepare and approve a new amendment to the Melbourne Planning Scheme under Section 20(4) of the Planning and Environment Act in the same form as Amendment C309 on the basis that the Amendment has already been the subject of the statutory exhibition, consultation and a panel process under the Act.
This new amendment forms Planning Scheme Amendment C385 West Melbourne Structure Plan, which is awaiting approval by the Minister for Planning.
