The State Government has introduced new planning and subdivision fee regulations that will come into operation across Victoria on 13 October 2016.

The new regulations set the fees that can be charged by local councils for the services provided under the Planning and Environment Act 1987 and Subdivision Act 1988 to an appropriate level of cost recovery.

For more information on the new fees, visit the Department of Environment, Water, Land and Planning website.

The new fees will apply to new applications made on or after 13 October 2016.
