Planning applications and permits

For all planning related queries please contact our department via email at Council@mvcc.vic.gov.au.

We will endeavour to respond to your email query within 2 business days.

If you would like an update on an existing application and you are not the applicant, please contact your nominated applicant as Council cannot discuss an application with anyone other than the nominated applicant.

Our Planning and Building Counter is closing to walk-ins and we are welcoming a new Talk to a Planner appointment service.

Our new, appointment-based system means we can prepare to provide you with timely and accurate advice. From 12 February 2026, visit Prepare for planning application page to make a free, 10-minute appointment to speak with a Statutory Planner, either in person or via video chat, for general planning advice.
