How to get a planning decision in 10 days

If your planning application is eligible for the VicSmart process, you must submit all required information when lodging the application to enable a council officer to decide on your application in 10 business days .

The information to be submitted with a VicSmart application is listed in the planning scheme and in the relevant VicSmart checklists.

A council officer may waive or reduce the required information if they can assess the application without the information.

The council officer cannot ask for more information than the planning scheme requires.
