Strategic Planning

Our purpose: We maintain Council's land use policy and planning framework, to ensure that it is sustainable and meets changing needs of the community.

The primary roles of the Strategic Planning team are to:

  • Review and formulate policies which achieve the objectives of planning in Victoria and facilitate the development and use of land within the Municipality.
  • Identify, analyse and recommend forward planning issues.
  • Research and collate data information, prepare and present recommendations and reports.
  • Prepare local planning scheme amendments and provide advice regarding the Victoria Planning Provisions.
  • Prepare submissions for Panel Hearings and Special Advisory Committees as required.
  • Consider requests for planning scheme amendments as required.
  • Consider joint applications for amendments and planning permits as required.
  • Provide advice and support to other Divisional staff on planning matters.
  • Liaise with consultants, members of the public, Government, other Councils and organisations, and other divisions of Council.
  • Undertake special projects as required, and undertake other duties as directed.
  • Review and update the Monash Planning Scheme every 4 years as part of the planning scheme review.
