Amendment C271 makes a number of changes to the Planning Scheme to facilitate the development and use of land within the Urban Growth Zone.
The City of Melbourne consulted with the community in two phases in 2014.
A Residential Zones Standing Advisory Committee was established by the State Government to review submissions made on the amendment. A public hearing was held in September 2014 and the committee’s report on Draft Planning Scheme Amendment C179 was released on 19 March 2015.
