VCAT review

You can lodge an application for review to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) if:

• your permit application is refused by the council or responsible authority
• the decision contains conditions you’re not happy about
• a decision hasn’t been made in time
• you’re an objector and council has issued a Notice of Decision to grant a planning permit.

If a permit condition is unacceptable, you have 60 days from the date the permit was issued or the Notice of decision to grant a permit was given, to apply for a review. If you want to lodge an application for review of the conditions, do it as soon as possible.
