What is the process of rezoning the core area to Urban Growth Zone and who is leading it?
The Department of Environment, Land Water and Planning (DELWP) (now the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP)) were instructed by the Minister for Planning to rezone the core area to Urban Growth Zone (UGZ) ahead of the precinct structure plan (PSP) being prepared. The UGZ will be introduced via 20(4) of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 and will give affect to the PSP once the PSP is approved and gazetted.
This rezoning is underway and is led by DTP whilst the PSP is being led by the Victorian Planning Authority (VPA).
