Planning Permit Secondary Consent application

If you want to make changes to your Planning Permit, you must apply with us to amend it.

Secondary Consent eligibility

To apply for Secondary Consent, you need to meet these criteria:

• The permit is not for subdivision
• Have the following or similar condition on the permit:
  • "The use and/or development as shown on the endorsed plan(s) must not be altered without the written consent of the responsible authority"
• The changes must not transform the permit to a use or development that was not previously considered and approved
• The changes cannot be contrary to any condition in the original permit
• The changes cannot be those that would trigger an additional planning permit under the Brimbank Planning Scheme
• The changes must not cause material detriment to the surrounding area as there is no advertising associated with a Secondary Consent
• The description of what is allowed by the permit cannot be altered by Secondary Consent
• The permit conditions cannot be varied or deleted by Secondary Consent.
