We’re excited to share the approval of a double-storey dwelling to the rear of an existing home at Boronia Road, Wantirna South, secured through the VicSmart streamlined process and approved in under 28 days.
This outcome highlights how the right strategy, preparation, and coordination can transform a streamlined pathway into a genuinely fast and efficient planning approval.
💡 Behind the Scenes Why This Moved So Quickly
While VicSmart removes some procedural steps, speed ultimately comes down to how well an application is prepared. For this project, the focus was on submitting a clear, complete, and policy aligned package from day one, giving Council everything needed to assess the proposal without delays.
Here’s what the approved permit delivers:
• ✅ Double-storey dwelling approved to the rear of the existing home
• ⚡ VicSmart approval achieved in less than 28 days
• 🏗️ Development plans prepared in house by Canter Town Planning
• 📄 Fully coordinated submission covering drainage, landscaping, and site constraints
• 🔒 A watertight application that avoided RFIs and kept the process moving
🙌 Teamwork That Delivers
Fast approvals are built on strong collaboration and the right consultants working together.
A big shout out to
• 🌿 Mark from ALD for the landscape plan
• 💧 TSK Consultants for the stormwater management plans and Blue Factor report
Having all technical inputs resolved upfront was critical in enabling a smooth and confident VicSmart assessment.
