If the changes you are looking to make to your approved plans are only minor you can apply for a Secondary Consent application as long as the changes meet the following criteria:
- The changes must not transform the permit to a use and development that was not previously considered and approved
- The description of what is allowed by the permit cannot be altered by Secondary Consent
- The permit conditions cannot be varied or deleted by Secondary Consent
- The changes cannot be contrary to any condition in the original permit
- The changes cannot be those that would trigger an additional planning permit under the Swan Hill Planning Scheme
- The changes must not cause material detriment to the surrounding area as there is no advertising associated with a Secondary Consent
If you make changes as a Secondary Consent, you do not need to notify the public or advertise the change.
If you are unsure if you’re the changes you are making are of a minor or major nature, please email all relevant documents to planning@swanhill.vic.gov.au and a member of our Planning Team will be in contact to provide guidance on the appropriate application to apply for.
