The City of Vincent is proposing to revoke Local Planning Policy 7.4.9 Encroachment over Crown Lands and is seeking community feedback.

The policy provides guidance and standards at the planning stage where development proposals encroach over Crown lands. 

Crown Lands include local government property, public places, and thoroughfares such as footpaths and alfresco areas along streets where encroachment is most common.

The policy was adopted in 2009 and a recent review shows there is now suitable guidance in the state planning framework, as well as in information sheets provided by Vincent.

This policy is therefore redundant and is an unnecessary part of our planning framework.

At its 17 October Meeting, Council endorsed the revocation of Local Planning Policy 7.4.9 Encroachment over Crown Lands for the purposes of community consultation.

The consultation period will close at 4pm on Friday 10 November 2023.
