… When you first submit a new application for a planning permit, you may receive a …
Why do we request further information (RFI)?
When you first submit a new application for a planning permit, you may receive a letter requesting further information (RFI).
The information will help us to process your application. We may:
- ask for new sets of plans
- request further clarification on particular uses or proposed works
- provide comments (concerns and general advice) from a preliminary assessment.
Do you need to address any information items raised in the RFI?
You must address any information items listed by the RFI. Only concerns or comments at the bottom of the letter isn't mandatory.
Addressing these comments early on can help you avoid extra fees and time costs later down the track - from needing to apply for a section 57A amendment, pay additional fees, excessive permit conditions and/or receiving a refusal.
Contact us to speak with your planning officer.
Can you make changes to your planning permit application before submitting the requested information?
Yes, but you will need to instead submit a section 50 amendment to declare your changes. You must include all of the requested information in your RFI letter as well.
What happens if you can't get all the information or disagree with it?
You should speak with your planning officer about any concerns you may have.
When do you need to respond to the RFI letter?
You need to respond to the RFI letter by submitting all requested information before the due date on the letter, known as the 'lapse date'.
If we do not receive all requested information by this date, then your planning permit application will lapse (closed/cancelled) and no further work will be undertaken on your application. You will need to submit a new application, along with new fees and planning documentation should you wish to proceed with the proposal.
There is no way to pause applications, so if you are unable to submit requested information before the lapse date, then request an extension of time.
Can you reverse a lapsed planning permit application?
Unfortunately, there is no way to reverse a lapsed application. You will need to submit a new application, along with new fees and planning documentation.
How to submit requested information
To respond to further information, follow these steps:
- Visit the planning applications portal
- Search for your planning application
- In the search results, select your planning applications ID number to view the application details
- Scroll down to the bottom of the details and select the 'Respond to Further Information' button to start the request.
Contact us if you are unable to lodge online or need help.
What happens next?
After you have submitted your response to the RFI letter, the Planning Officer will review the information and their response will depend on whether they are satisfied with the information you have provided.
If your response is satisfactory
Your application will proceed to the next stage.
If your response is not satisfactory
You will receive another RFI letter outlining the outstanding we information require.

We’re developing a Stormwater Management Strategy (Strategy) to help identify, manage and reduce flood risk to people, property, infrastructure and the environment.
The Strategy will comprise a two-part document including:
- Stormwater Management Strategy Policy: a framework detailing the methodology and criteria for prioritisation of Council’s future drainage capital works projects.
- Future Works Plan: a prioritised list of future capital works projects within the municipality.
It will guide our planning and investment in the long-term Capital Works Program to support a healthy, safe and resilient community.
It will be informed by a range of Council endorsed documents, existing data sources (customer requests), flood mapping information and internal stakeholder feedback. An external consultant is assisting Council officers to prepare the Strategy.
Council will consider the draft Policy for adoption in late 2024.

The 2025 Manningham Asian Cultural Festival will feature a fantastic lineup of cultural performances, delicious street food and family friendly activities as well as fireworks.
A celebration of culture and community, the festival will be held on Sunday 9 March 2025 at Doncaster Reserve, next to the Jackson Court activity centre.
We’re proud to be a major sponsor of the event, an initiative of the Asian Business Association of Whitehorse (ABAW), organisers of the hugely popular Lunar New Year Festival in Box Hill.
Our Mayor, Councillor Deirdre Diamante, attended the official launch of the festival at Jackson Court last week, welcoming the opportunity to support the association in bringing such an exciting opportunity to Manningham.
“Manningham is a proud multicultural community. Forty-four per cent of our population is born overseas, coming from an incredible 99 different countries including China, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Vietnam,” Cr Diamante said.
“It’s events such as these that really bring us together to celebrate what makes our diverse community so special," Cr Diamante said.
"We thank the Asian Business Association of Whitehorse for bringing the festival to Manningham.
“This will also highlight our fantastic local traders at Jackson Court and is just one of the many ways Council is working to support businesses and build a strong local economy.”
It is anticipated the new Manningham festival will be a drawcard for up to 10,000 people.
ABAW President Bihong Wang said, “The ABAW is thrilled to present the inaugural Manningham Asian Cultural Festival, a vibrant celebration of our shared multicultural values.
“Join us as we come together to embrace diversity, culture and community. We can’t wait to see everyone there,” she said.
President of the Jackson Court Traders Association, Con Valsamis, said the festival would be the biggest event held in the activity centre.
“Our association, along with all Jackson Court traders, are excited to be part of such a major event and have an incredible opportunity to showcase the offerings of our unique businesses.”

The reserve offers facilities for tennis, cricket, football, scouts, community groups, two community halls, and a children’s playspace, and as such is very densely developed.
Ted Ajani Reserve also plays an important role in the network of pedestrian links and safe crossing points over major roads, with links to the south via David Road to the Manningham Road pedestrian overpass, and an off-street link to the Thompsons Road pedestrian crossing.

Oakland Reserve is a relatively large reserve (0.5 Hectares) that also provides a pedestrian thoroughfare from Oakland Drive to Warrandyte High School and should be retained for this purpose. Local residents in the surrounding low density residential area also access the school oval through this Reserve for out of school hour’s recreation purposes.
Continuing the existing path to the school boundary gate, in consultation with the school, will better serve the Reserve’s purpose, especially in wet weather. A natural drainage line, containing a Council drain, runs parallel with the existing path across the site. The north-west corner of the Reserve is also located on the periphery of the Naughton Avenue, Biosite 15, with some remnant vegetation along the boundary fence. There is scope for revegetation of parts of the Reserve to enhance the value of the Biosite consistent with Council’s Healthy Habitats Bushland Management Strategy 2012.
