CFA & Land Use Planning
CFA is involved in strategic and statutory land use planning and
subdivision processes in a number of ways. CFA is a Referral Authority
in all municipal planning schemes for subdivisions that create
a road and for areas that are subject to a Wildfire
Management Overlay.
The following are areas into which CFA provides input:
- Provision of comment on design and development plans (Planning & Environment
Act 1987)
- Planning permits to subdivide land which creates a road (Victorian
Planning Provisions)
- Certification of subdivision plans (Subdivision Act 1988)
- Statements of compliance (Subdivision Act 1988)
- Comment on planning permit applications for dwellings in rural
living, rural, environmental, rural and low density rural residential
zones (Victorian Planning Provisions)
- Determination and direction to Mandatory referral from Council
with regard to all applications for development within Wildfire
Management Overlay areas (Victorian Planning Provisions)
- Comment on various other planning permit applications
- Provisions for access and water supply in various planning
scheme zones (Victorian Planning Provisions)
