What is an Environmental Audit Overlay?
An Environmental Audit Overlay is applied to land that may be affected by potential contamination.
The draft planning scheme amendment includes an Environmental Audit Overlay that applies to properties within the precinct that are nominated as having high or medium risk of contamination. The overlay will require further investigations to be carried out by developers before sensitive land uses dwellings 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
