We are inviting preliminary feedback to help us update the Boroondara Planning Scheme.

What is a planning scheme?

A planning scheme is a municipal-wide map and document that outlines how public and private land is used and developed.

Any updates or changes to the scheme are known as amendments. Councils must propose any amendments to the Minister for Planning for the Minister’s approval.

Most councils will amend their planning scheme every few years.

Why update the planning scheme?

There are many reasons why a planning scheme may need to be amended. Some of the more common reasons are to:

• correct mistakes
• update the scheme.
