What is a Secondary Consent and Section 72 amendment?
After receiving a permit and having your plans endorsed, you may decide to make changes to the endorsed plans.
You can make a secondary consent amendment if the changes are minor.
If the changes are more significant, you may require a Section 72 amendment.
A Section 72 application follows a similar to a new permit application - this means it may include public notification and the opportunity for people to submit objections.
Secondary Consent amendments
When should you use a secondary consent amendment?
You can use a secondary consent amendment:
after the issuing of a permit
if the permit contains the condition, “The development as shown on the approved plans must not be altered without the written consent of the Responsible Authority.”
if we’ve endorsed the plans under the permit
if the permit hasn’t expired
if the proposed changes are minor and meet the relevant secondary consent ‘tests’.
What are the secondary consent ‘tests’?
A secondary consent amendment is only for minor changes to plans after approvals. It does not require public notification.
You will need to meet the following ‘tests’ to qualify for a secondary consent amendment:
It doesn’t result in the transformation of the proposal.
It doesn’t introduce something where we require additional approval or assessment under the planning scheme.
It’s of no consequence having regard to the purpose of the assessment of planning controls after the granting of the original planning permit.
It’s not contrary to the wording, conditions or both on the planning permit.
You will need a section 72 amendment if you don’t meet the ‘tests’.
Contact us if you’re having trouble understanding if your changes meet the tests.
Examples of changes we will consider under secondary consent
Some of the following common changes we’ll consider under secondary consent includes the following:
Internal floor plan reconfigurations that don’t impact the exterior appearance or windows of the building.
Amendments to landscaping that don’t impact any permit conditions.
Adding a small verandah or pergola.
Adding a low-scale fence, depending on the planning controls.
Changes to the colours or materials on external walls, features or both, to a building.
How much does it cost?
You will need to pay a fee for a secondary consent amendment.
Select Secondary Consent amendment from the list of available actions for Planning Permit applicant
Online lodgement of Secondary Consent Amendments may not be available for Permits issued before July 2017. If this option is not available, contact us or email PlanningApplications@manningham.vic.gov.au to obtain a manual application form.
When a secondary consent amendment request is lodged:
A Planning Officer will undertake a preliminary assessment to determine whether your changes are eligible to be considered through the secondary consent amendment process.
Once a request is determined to be eligible, an invoice for payment by credit card, BPay or Post BillPay will be emailed to the applicant.
Otherwise, you may receive advice requiring you to relodge your request as a Section 72 Amendment.
This preliminary assessment process may take one to two weeks.
Section 72 Amendments
What changes can you include in a section 72 amendment?
a change or addition to the land use that the permit approved
a change to the property address to which the permit applies
a change to the plans, other documents or both, endorsed under the permit

… Parking, Roads and Footpaths Property and Development … Apply for an onsite detention system …
What is onsite stormwater detention (OSD)?
If our existing drainage system can’t cope with an increase of runoff, an onsite drainage (OSD) system is a requirement of the planning process.
An OSD system helps retain stormwater onsite during heavy rainfall and releases water slowly through a constrained outlet. This limits peak discharge from the site.
Local developments that have the potential to increase stormwater runoff will generally need an OSD system.
How much does it cost?
The cost will be $571 to $1,298. We base our fees on the number of units or apartments proposed on the plan.
Extra costs apply if you need to make changes to your OSD plans.
How to prepare your application
Download the OSD Design checklist and OSD guidelines.
You will need to complete an OSD amendments application to make changes to existing engineering plans. You will need to complete the application for constructing an outfall drain and for general drainage works. You will also need to submit revised engineering plans for re-approval and we may need to reinspect the site.
The cost will be $324 to $893. We base our fees on the number of units or apartments proposed on the plan.
We will notify you that we have received your application.
We will send you an email once we have approved your plan. This can take between 4 to 12 weeks. We may ask for more information in the meantime.
Once we have all the required information, we will assess your designs to check they are consistent with the legal point of discharge.
What you need to do after approval of your OSD plans
After receiving approval of an OSD system, you will also need approval to connect to our drains. The works and drainage permit is a requirement to connect into our drains and to do works on our road reserves or an easement.
