Incorporated documents and the Port Phillip Planning Scheme

The Planning and Environment Act 1987 allows certain documents to be incorporated in a planning scheme by reference in the schedule to Clause 72.04 of the Port Phillip Planning Scheme, rather than by physically including them in the planning scheme. These documents carry the same weight as other parts of the planning scheme and often direct a particular outcome.

It is proposed to remove the following obsolete incorporated documents from the Port Phillip Planning Scheme as the projects they address have been completed. Planning controls already exist on these sites without the need for an incorporated document to inform decision making.

This document shows the documents to be deleted from the schedule to Clause 72.04 of the Port Phillip Planning Scheme, as well as some other minor changes. No new incorporated documents are proposed to be added to the Planning Scheme.
