What are the Precinct Structure Planning Guidelines?

The Precinct Structure Planning Guidelines set out what needs to be achieved for planning for Victoria’s growth and gives clarity on how this can be done.

The Precinct Structure Planning Guidelines apply to the preparation of Precinct Structure Plans (PSPs) for new residential communities and new employment areas. The purpose of the Precinct Structure Planning Guidelines is to set out what should be addressed in preparing a PSP. They seek to:

• Increase consistency and certainty in planning for growth
• Assist in the timely preparation and completion of PSPs
• Facilitate the creation of new communities that are better places to live and which respond to the challenges of the future.

The PSP 2.o process forms one component of the Precinct Structure Planning Guidelines.
