We are simplifying the planning permit process with the introduction of myLot.
The new online tool designed to assist residents with a range of property development projects.
Whether it's building a townhouse, renovating a home, installing a shed, or removing a tree, myLot helps users determine if a planning permit is likely required for their specific project
The platform, which is available 24/7, guides users through a series of tailored questions based on their development address and proposal details.
The system then analyses the information and provides guidance on whether a planning permit is necessary, referencing relevant planning controls. Users also receive advice on what documents are needed for a complete application, and whether their project qualifies for a streamlined VicSmart application.
How it works
- After pressing 'Launch myLot', you'll be transferred to their website and be asked to sign up.
- Next, you'll need to provide the address of your development proposal.
- The system will then ask a series of questions about your proposal.
- Once enough information is gathered, the service will analyse whether a planning permit is likely required.
Is a result from myLot a planning decision from Council?
It is important to understand that myLot offers preliminary advice only and does not constitute an official planning decision.
Residents are encouraged to seek formal written planning advice or attend a pre-application meeting before proceeding with any development.
Failing to secure the appropriate permits could lead to enforcement action. With this initiative, we are hoping to make the planning process more accessible and user-friendly for the Bayside community.
