VicSmart - a simpler planning permit process

VicSmart is a streamlined assessment process for straightforward planning permit applications. Classes of application are identified in the planning scheme as being VicSmart, and have specified requirements for information, assessment processes and decision guidelines. 

Some of the key features of VicSmart:

• There is a 10 day permit process

• Applications are not advertised

• Information to be submitted with an application, and what council can consider, is pre-set.

Do I qualify for VicSmart?

To be classed as a VicSmart application, a proposal must:

  • be one of the state application types
  • meet all the criteria
  • and be located in the specified zone or overlay

Where a proposal falls into more than one class of VicSmart application, the requirements of each class need to be met.
