Town Planning & Sub-Division FAQs

How long does a town planning permit application take?

Standard applications in Victoria take between 6 to 12 months depending on council backlog, objections, and overlays. Qualifying minor builds can use VicSmart, where council has 10 business days to decide.

What is a Statement of Compliance in sub-division?

It is a document issued by the local council confirming that all requirements (such as drainage, landscaping, water authority approvals, and power connections) have been completed, allowing the titles office to subdivide the land.
