What is a planning scheme amendment?

A planning scheme governs the way land can be used and developed within the bounds of the Victorian Planning System. A planning scheme is updated from time to time via an amendment process to change the way land can be used or developed.

The planning scheme amendment will introduce the PSP, DCP and other ordinance into the Greater Shepparton Planning Scheme that will govern how land and infrastructure are delivered within the PSP area into the future.

Greater Shepparton City Council is the responsible authority who administers the Greater Shepparton Planning Scheme and any future planning applications will need to adhere to its conditions.

Any proposed changes to a planning scheme, such as incorporation of the PSP, have to go through a public consultation process. See the ‘Having your say’ section below for more information.
