Stonnington Planning Scheme
The Stonnington Planning Scheme came into operation on 13 July 2000 and sets out the direction for using, developing and protecting land within the city.
The Planning Scheme is made up of four key components.
- Planning Policy Framework - a standard set of planning policies and controls that apply to all local government areas within Victoria. We cannot change the Planning Policy Framework.
- Municipal Strategic Statement - an outline of our local government's key land use and development objectives and strategies. The Statement provides the basis for zones, overlays and particular provisions. We review the Municipal Strategic Statement every three years.
- Local planning policies.
- Planning Scheme maps.

Planning Scheme amendments
From time to time, changes are made to the Planning Scheme. These changes are called Planning Scheme amendments and may be introduced to respond to changes in the area, in a new council policy or to improve how the scheme operates.
Amendments to the Stonnington Planning Scheme can be prepared by Council or the Minister for Planning.
Individuals and other parties may request an amendment to the planning scheme. To be considered, the request must:
- be in writing
- present justification for the amendment.
Council is under no obligation to prepare an amendment and, after assessing a request, may decide not to proceed.
