Where a planning permit application is required in Victoria, PPLAN Town Planners will:

1. 1. Complete all necessary planning permit application forms
   2. Prepare a submission supporting the application, responding to the policies, and decision guidelines within the planning scheme
   3. Check compliance with any covenants, restrictions or section 173 agreements
   4. Lodge the planning permit application
   5. Liaise and negotiate outcomes with Council during the application assessment process

Depending on the nature of the application, it may require advice from government agencies and the preparation of specialist reports, for example, environmental sustainable design, urban design, waste management or traffic studies.

Once the application has been assessed and approved, we will review the conditions and advise whether any further representations need to be made to Council.
