The key mechanisms are: Planning scheme amendments Planning schemes are amended under the Planning and Environment Act 1987 after the preparation of Precinct Structure Plans (PSPs) to give effect to the Commonwealth approvals and requirements of the Delivering Melbourne’s Newest Sustainable Communities- Program Report (Program Report) (DPCB 2009) and BCS within each precinct. The amendments include the incorporation of schedules to the Urban Growth Zone (applies to land suitable for urban development) and Special Use Zone (applies to conservation areas) and PSPs into planning schemes. Precinct Structure PSPs are prepared for each precinct by the Metropolitan Planning Authority (MPA) and set out the future structure of a suburb, detailing the location of housing, activity centres, community facilities, transport networks, open space and areas of biodiversity value. PSPs are prepared in accordance with the Growth Corridor Plans and the Precinct Structure Planning Guidelines (GAA, 2009) and are incorporated into the relevant planning schemes. Once a plan has been incorporated, planning permits can be granted by the responsible authority (usually council) for urban development. Native Vegetation Plans Native Vegetation Plans are prepared for each precinct by the MPA in consultation with DELWP and set out the requirements for the protection and removal of native vegetation within the precinct. Native vegetation plans identify the native vegetation that may be removed and the native vegetation that must be retained. Native vegetation within conservation areas will be identified as be retained’. Native ‘to vegetation plans are incorporated into PSPs. Conservation Area Concept Plans Conservation Area Concept Plans (CACPs) are prepared for each conservation area by the MPA in consultation with DELWP. CACPs set out the land-uses and constraints for each conservation area and specify conservation requirements and constraints relating to the conservation area. CACPs are prepared at the PSP stage and are incorporated into PSPs. Planning permits A planning permit is a legal document that gives permission for a use or development on a particular land parcel under a planning scheme. The permit includes conditions that must be satisfied in carrying out an approved use or development. These conditions will reflect the requirements of the Commonwealth approvals, Program Report and BCS. Integrated Water Management Plans
