Proposed Corrective Planning Scheme Amendment C137mann, Update

Proposed Corrective Planning Scheme Amendment C137mann, Update

On 28 February 2022, Council received a formal request from Melbourne Water for a planning scheme amendment, to be considered under Section 20(2) of the Planning and Environment Act 1987.

The purpose of the proposed amendment is to correct Special Building Overlay Schedule 1 (SBO1), as it applies to 39 properties in and around Hillcroft Drive, Templestowe.

In March, Council officers received a petition from 18 signatories from properties where the SBO1 is proposed to be removed, requesting that Manningham Council accept Melbourne Water’s request. This petition was tabled at the 22 March 2022 Council meeting.

Officers also met with interested property owners in March to discuss the impacts of the proposed planning scheme amendment for their properties.

Council meeting, 26 April 2022

Before preparing a planning scheme amendment, Council must formally resolve to seek authorisation from the Minister for Planning.

Council will consider this matter at its next meeting on Tuesday 26 April 2022 at 7:00pm in the Council Chambers, 699 Doncaster Road Doncaster.

The meeting agenda will be published no later than close of business Thursday 21 April 2022 on our website.
