What is the Department of Transport and Planning’s (DTP’s) role in this project?

The Department of Transport and Planning centralises key planning and land use activities, precinct and policy functions in a single department.

DTP’s transport division plans, builds and operates an integrated, safe and sustainable transport network for Victoria. DTP Transport (DTP-T) has been involved in transport decisions that have influenced the Shepparton South East PSP. Any future development application that impacts the declared road network (Doyles Road and its intersections) will be referred by Greater Shepparton City Council to DTP-T which is a determining authority as part of that application. This includes any applications in response to the Urban Growth Zone Lot Cap Provision associated with the Doyles Road intersections.

DTP’s planning division is responsible for setting up the overarching frameworks and managing the rules and regulations that ensure safe, coordinated and sustainable growth and development across Victoria. DTP planning has been involved with the review and approval of the draft PSP, DCP and planning controls for public consultation.
