What is the role of Greater Shepparton City Council?

The VPA and the Greater Shepparton City Council have worked collaboratively to prepare the Shepparton South East PSP, development contributions plan (DCP) and associated planning scheme controls. Greater Shepparton City Council is a partner in this engagement process, supporting the VPA as the lead agency for the amendment.

Greater Shepparton City Council is the responsible authority, this means that they are responsible for administering any future planning application process for the PSP in line with the direction of the PSP, DCP and planning controls that are in the Greater Shepparton Planning Scheme.

In this instance, Greater Shepparton City Council is also the drainage authority responsible for review and approval of any proposed drainage infrastructure related inclusions in planning applications and their future management.

Greater Shepparton City Council will also be the acquiring authority for any land identified by the Public Acquisition Overlay (PAO) within the PSP. See the Public Acquisition Overlay section below for more detail.
