It explores the different elements of the Victoria Planning Provisions in some detail, and how they should be used, providing participants with strategies and techniques to help select the best tools to use in their local planning scheme.
This course builds skills in the drafting of the MPS and the PPF. Attention will be paid to streamlining the MPS and PPF to avoid repetition with other parts of the scheme, therefore making the scheme easier to interpret for applicants, statutory planners and VCAT.
This module is a practical module to build skills in the drafting of zones and schedules to zones, overlays and particular provisions.
The module will include the elements of planning schemes, and how to draft them, including a table of uses, understanding the scope of what overlay controls can achieve in line with the purpose of the parent provision, and identifying and addressing potential overlaps and conflicts in controls within the scheme as a whole.
This course will provide an overview of how to make the most of the planning scheme review process that needs to be completed every four years, as required under Section 12B of the Planning and Environment Act 1987.
Drawing on published advice from DELWP as well as experience from many Council reviews across the state, you will learn the steps that you should follow to undertake a meaningful and thorough review, and how to identify and strategically justify changes that need to be made to your planning scheme as a result.
This course is designed for planners who are responsible for delivering strategic plans such as Housing Strategies, Urban Design Frameworks, Economic Development Strategies, Structure Plans and Heritage Studies.
The course will look at all aspects of project management including development of the brief, project governance, community consultation, stakeholder engagement, budget management and managing the client / provider relationship. There will be a particular focus on ensuring that plans can be implemented (though the planning scheme, capital works budget and other channels).
Pitched at beginners to the strategic planning process, this course will teach a simplified “inform // interact // engage” framework to help project managers develop and deliver a complete and comprehensive consultation and engagement process that is ‘right sized’ for the project.
You will leave with lots of tools, including templates for presentations, key stakeholder identification and consultation planning.
