Victorian approvals
We have developed a flowchart checklist of approvals that may be required in Victoria for Planning, Natural Heritage and Cultural Heritage protection.
We offer services to present this information to interested groups to expand on each of the permits in terms of what information may be needed, how applications can be drafted and what are the obligations of the proponent and the relevant regulators.
