Not all applications are eligible for VicSmart. Eligibility depends on a range of factors including:

• The type and scale of development that you want a permit for,
• The planning zone and overlays for your property (you can check these at Department of Transport and Planning); and
• Any restrictions on the title for your property (you can purchase a current copy of your title from Landata).

To check if your application qualifies for VicSmart:

• Call our Statutory Planning team on (03) 5422 0333; or
• Visit the Gisborne Administration Centre and speak to the planner on duty between 8.30am and 5pm Monday to Friday.

Prior to applying you must confirm that your application is eligible for VicSmart. If your application is not eligible it will need to be resubmitted as a standard planning permit application, which will cause delays.
