Land Use Planning - Councillor Professional Development Workshop

Through intensive small group delivery, facilitated by subject matter experts from across the sector, VLGA intensive workshops are both efficient for councillors and affordable for councils. These sessions have been designed to cover the 13 modules outlined within the mandatory guidelines for the first year of the term, combining them into six half-day sessions.

This session will look at the role of council’s Planning Scheme and its impacts.

It will take councillors through powers of delegation and the processes to trigger the determination of applications by council.

Councillors will also gain an understanding of policies and processes related to interactions with developers, planning applicants and their representatives and objectors.

Councillors will look at the fundamentals of the Victorian planning system, including: 

  • The planning scheme and amendments
  • Planning Permits
  • Reviews and the role of VCAT
  • The role of the planning minister and other bodies such as Planning Panels Victoria
  • Statutory Planning

These intensive workshops have been designed for councillors to attend as a group where they can grow their knowledge through shared learning and peer support. 

A minimum of four council groups are required for the sessions to proceed.
