PLANET VIC | Tips and tricks for drafting overlay schedules

It’s time to get down to the nitty gritty of drafting a schedule to an overlay.  The focus of the day will be on drafting built form control such as the Built Form Overlay, the Design and Development Overlay and the Development Plan Overlay, and a control with a Statement of Significance included (e.g. the Environment Significance Overlay and the Erosion Management Overlay).
 Short periods of teaching will be followed by the opportunity to work in small groups to
draft each element as it is taught. The course will draw on published advice from DTP, decisions by VCAT and recommendations by Planning Panels Victoria.
