Understanding Geelong’s Planning Permit Application Process
The City of Greater Geelong Council oversees a structured town planning permit process. Understanding this helps you meet requirements and avoid delays.
The council evaluates permit applications based on local planning schemes, zoning regulations, and overlays such as the Design and Development Overlay (DDO). These rules aim to balance development with community interests and environmental considerations.
Key elements of the process include:
- Submission of a complete application with required documentation
- Assessment against the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme policies
- Public notification and opportunity for community feedback
- Review of compliance with zoning and overlay requirements
- Decision by council planners or council officers
By understanding these steps, you can better anticipate timelines and requirements, minimising delays and objections. At Canter Town Planning, we guide you through each stage—preparing compliant applications and liaising with council to resolve issues early and streamline approvals.
