Town Planner in Casey City Council

The Casey Planning Scheme defines how land can be used and developed across the municipality, with zones, overlays, and local policies that shape outcomes for new estates, established suburbs, and rural areas.

Casey is one of Melbourne’s fastest-growing catchments, with a mix of greenfield growth areas, established suburbs, and rural–fringe land. This means planning decisions often involve considerations around infrastructure timing, estate staging, neighbourhood character, and the rural–urban interface.

Key factors we assess for Casey properties include:

Key zones – Residential Growth Zone, General Residential Zone, Neighbourhood Residential Zone, Industrial 1/3 Zones, Farming Zone, and other applicable zones.

Overlays – Vegetation Protection Overlay, Heritage Overlay, Design and Development Overlay, Flood Management Overlay, Bushfire Management Overlay, and other site-specific controls.

Local policy – Casey’s growth area strategy, new estate design expectations, infrastructure planning, and ongoing planning scheme amendments.

Permit triggers – determining when a permit is required for use, subdivision, building siting, tree removal, signage, or change of land use.

Understanding these details helps us prepare stronger applications, avoid unnecessary delays, and respond effectively to Council requests.

We regularly assist clients in Casey with a wide range of planning projects, including:

Renovations and extensions – second dwellings, duplexes, townhouses, and multi-unit developments in established suburbs.

Knockdown and rebuild – assessing permit requirements and design response to Casey character and overlay controls.

Multi-dwelling and townhouse developments – 2–6+ dwelling projects that respond to Casey’s growth area expectations, parking standards, and streetscape requirements.

Change of use – converting premises to retail, offices, childcare, medical centres, recreation, or other commercial/industrial uses.

Vegetation removal and tree protection – applications under Vegetation Protection Overlays and related controls.

Rural and farming uses – rural living, agricultural activities, associated structures, and land use in Farming Zone areas.

Commercial and industrial uses – warehousing, logistics, service stations, self-storage, motor vehicle hire facilities, and other commercial/industrial land uses.

Subdivisions – straightforward and complex subdivisions across residential, rural, and industrial land.

Each project is assessed against the Casey Planning Scheme, relevant overlays, and local policy to identify the best pathway for approval.
