At its meeting on 23 July 2018 Darebin Council considered submissions made in response to the public exhibition of Planning Scheme Amendment C161, which took place from 17 May - 18 June 2018. Thanks to all who participated in the public exhibition and submissions process.

There were a total of 10 submissions, with 4 in support of the Amendment and 6 submissions either objecting to, or asking for changes to, the amendment. Council decided to refer the submissions which could not be resolved to an independent planning panel for consideration.

Minutes from the Council meeting are available to view on Council's main website www.darebin.vic.gov.au.

The independent Planning Panel will conduct a Public Hearing and prepare a report with recommendations for Council's consideration.

Dates for the public hearing hearing will be announced soon and published on this page. Only people who lodged a submission to Amendment C161 can appear at the hearing and address the Panel, however all Panel hearings are open to the public to attend and watch.
