Well, Glen Eira is the first cab off the rank. Changes to their planning scheme begins next week (15th). Basically what this means is that any applications received after this date will be based upon the scheme (see attachment). Height restrictions, rear setbacks and the number of dwellings allowed are the big ones.
I expect other councils to follow suit pretty soon. These changes will be more significant in the well to do areas e.g. Boroondara, Whitehorse etc. If you have a block to develop it may be best to get started and submit to council sooner rather than later, especially if you are in a standard residential street.
Cheers
