Major Update 2&3

On 17 October 2022, the Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning and Minister Assisting the Premier on Olympic and Paralympic Games Infrastructure approved, in part, the Major Update 2 & 3 amendment package.

The Minister approved 21 of the 34 items in the amendment, which commenced today as part of City Plan Version 10.

Thirteen items were unable to be adopted as the Minister was unable to determine the extent to which some of these changes will impact housing supply.

The 13 remaining items will be progressed as part of a new Amendment Strategy endorsed by Council in May 2023. Council’s desire to continue to advance these items is based on the Minister’s ongoing support for the policy underpinning them and their importance to the community and development industry.

The new Amendment Strategy will deliver prioritised outcomes through smaller amendment packages sequenced to improve community understanding and be more focussed and streamlined.

The first amendment introduces key foundational changes such as the new Low-medium density residential zone and a revised approach to measuring building height. This amendment is anticipated to go out for public consultation in August.
