What is an Environmental Audit Overlay?
An Environmental Audit Overlay is applied to land that may be affected by potential contamination.
The approved planning scheme amendment includes an Environmental Audit Overlay that applies to the whole precinct to allow for sensitive land uses, such as schools or residences, on land that is potentially contaminated land. The overlay will require further investigations be carried out by developers before sensitive land uses can be built.
More information on the use of the Environmental Audit Overlay can be found at environment.vic.gov.au/sustainability/victoria-unearthed/about-the-data/environmental-audit-overlay
