Project Status Updates

Project Status Updates – March 2024

We have been working with Cardinia Shire Council to progress the planning for the Officer South Employment precinct by reviewing submissions received through public consultation.  

Since our last update in November 2023, we have referred the draft Cardinia Planning Scheme amendment C274card, submissions and other supporting documents to the VPA projects standing advisory committee (SAC). The SAC hearing itself commenced on 6 March, and in scheduled to run through to 19 April. 

We have also: 

• Considered submissions in collaboration with council, Melbourne Water, the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) and other relevant government agencies. 
• Met with submitters and landowners to discuss site-specific concerns and resolve matters where possible.  
• Amended draft planning scheme ordinances, planning scheme maps, PSP and ICP documents with changes arising from submissions. 
• Finalised the Officer South Employment PSP Design and Costings Report. 
• Attended the VPA Projects SAC directions hearing. 

In the short term we will be focussed on participating in and supporting the SAC hearing. Following the hearing, our next priority will be finalising the place-based structure plan, PSP and other amendment documents based on recommendations made by the SAC.
