Manningham Planning Scheme · In force from 16 June 2026
Applies the Victoria Planning Provisions to land in the City of Manningham, through zones, overlays and particular provisions that determine which uses and works need a permit and the matters weighed in deciding one. Its municipal planning strategy pursues a liveable and harmonious city with responsive services and infrastructure, a smaller carbon footprint through sustainable development, and a balance between activity areas and quieter neighbourhoods.
