What are the Victoria Planning Provisions?

The Victoria Planning Provisions are the standard provisions that form the framework for all of Victoria’s planning schemes.View the Victoria Planning Provisions.

The Victoria Planning Provisions is a document containing a comprehensive set of planning provisions for Victoria. It is not a planning scheme and does not apply to any land. It is a statewide reference (template), used as required, to construct planning schemes.

The planning authority (usually the local council) must provide the local planning policy content, including a Municipal Strategic Statement (MSS), and select the appropriate zones and overlays from the VPP, for inclusion in their planning scheme. The VPP also has references to a number of incorporated documents. Some parts of the VPP, such as state policies, are included in every planning scheme.

When any provision in the VPP is amended, all planning schemes containing that provision are also amended. Only the Minister for Planning can amend the VPP.
