Local government elections are being held this October. From 12pm Tuesday 17 September until 6pm Saturday 26 October, Council will enter a 'caretaker period'. During this time, Council business is conducted in accordance with our Election Period Policy.
The application for an extension of time on a planning permit must be submitted:
If you submit your request outside these times, Council and the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) cannot extend the permit. A new application for a planning permit must be submitted.
There is no guarantee that the request will be approved. Each request is assessed individually and the delegate has authority to issue a refusal if the request is deemed inappropriate.
Complete and submit the online application form. To do so, find your permit application here. Scroll to the bottom of the page and Select Extension of Time to Permit Dates.
You must provide your application number and the reason for the extension. If you have commenced works, you must provide supporting documents with your request.
Pay the application fee. The fee to request an extension is between $293 and $654, depending on the number of previous requests you have made. You can make the payment online here. Have your invoice handy for payment details. Your application will only be processed once payment has been received.
