What is the proposed Specific Controls Overlay (VDP cable)?
The Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) is considering the introduction of a Specific Controls Overlay to protect existing state significant water and power infrastructure in the southeast of Melbourne in Casey, Cardinia and Bass Coast municipalities. The Overlay intends to:
- Protect the existing underground and above ground infrastructure from development that may compromise the structural integrity, asset life of the infrastructure and/or adversely affect the maintenance, operation or accessibility of the infrastructure.
- Provide a clear and timely process for planning approvals and changes in land use.
