The Minister for Planning has gazetted Amendment C284 into the Casey Planning Scheme on 19 June 2024.

The Casey Planning Scheme guides and regulates land use and development within the municipality. It is the framework by which Council and other authorised decision-makers (such as VCAT and the Minister for Planning) make decisions. An up-to-date planning scheme provides Council, the development industry, State Government and the community with contemporary strategic directions and clarity when preparing, assessing, and making decisions on planning permit applications and planning scheme amendment requests within Casey.

Amendment C284 reviewed the planning framework for the City of Casey that applies to the whole municipality. The Amendment updated the content and structure of the Casey Planning Scheme to meet state government legislative requirements. The Amendment also re-drafted existing policies in the Scheme to reflect Council’s strategic directions for land use and development and is informed by adopted Council strategies. In addition, the Amendment updated the background documents which have guided the preparation of the Amendment and corrected minor errors and anomalies in the Scheme to ensure that it can be readily understood and implemented.
