This module provides an overview of elements of the Victoria Planning Provisions and how to use them to construct a planning scheme.
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.
As most Victorian practitioners will be aware, traditional ResCode has been heavily reworked and the old cl 55 turned into a heavily deemed-to-comply “townhouse and low-rise code.” Our ResCode course described below will obviously be reworked in coming weeks to reflect these changes. We are well placed to help your staff with this adjustment, with Stephen having been on the Technical Reference Group for the new code. We are eager to explore with local government leaders what their key training needs are going to be as the new code rolls out, so don’t hesitate to get in touch.
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 short course is designed to encourage staff to reflect on the particular challenges of making good decisions in the Victorian system. In a system where sometimes it feels any decision is arguable, how do we make rigorous, accountable, logical and ethical decisions?
This session explores ways to think about the decision-making process, common pitfalls, and strategies to improve decision-making.
We love to develop new bespoke training sessions to meet the needs of individual clients.
Feel free to get in touch with either of us to enquire about developing a course to meet your needs. This could be either a completely new session, or something derived from an existing offering.
