These templates are made available to assist in the preparation of well-made development applications. They can be used to address Planning Scheme assessment benchmarks (requirements) contained within the Planning Scheme codes. Download the relevant code templates and use in the preparation and submission of development applications.

Part 6 - Zone Codes

Zones organise the planning scheme area in a way that facilitates the location of preferred or acceptable land uses.  

Each zone code identifies the following:

(a) the purpose of the code.

(b) the overall outcomes that achieve the purpose of the code.

(c) the performance outcomes that achieve the overall outcomes and the purpose of the code.

(d) the acceptable outcomes that achieve the performance and overall outcome and the purpose of the code. 

Select the zone code appropriate for your property:

Each local plan code identifies the following:

(a) the application of the local plan code.

(b) the purpose of the local plan code.

(c) the overall outcomes that achieve the purpose of the local plan code.

(d) the performance outcomes that achieve the overall outcomes of the local plan code.

(e) the acceptable outcomes that achieve the performance outcomes of the local plan code.

Part 8 - Overlay Codes

Overlays identify areas in the planning scheme that reflect state and local level interest and that have one or more of the following characteristics:

(a) there is a particular sensitivity to the effects of development.

(b) there is a constraint on land use or development outcomes.

(c) there is a presence of valuable resources.

(d) there are particular opportunities for development.
