While GERA is primarily focused on Glen Eira wide issues or major issues within specific areas of Glen Eira, we also willingly provide advice to residents wishing to object to individual Applications for Planning Permits.
Increasingly, concerned residents are contracting us for assistance in preparing objections for planning permit applications. In response, Glen Eira Residents Association (GERA) has prepared the below guidelines* to assist residents.
Both Guidelines are primarily for multi unit high rise developments, however, many of issues covered will be equally applicable to townhouse developments which will increase the number of dwellings on a lot.
Planning Zones – implemented on 23rd August, 2013.
This guide*, which is currently being developed, will focus on the developments within the Planning Zones (i.e. Residential – RGZ1, GRZ 1, 2 & 3) and NRZ1, Multi Use Zone – MUZ1 and the Commercial Zones – CZ1 and CZ2). These zones are applicable to planning permit applications lodged post 23/8/2013.
The guide* is being prepared and will be posted as soon as it is completed.
Housing Diversity and Minimal Change Policy – 2002 -23/8/2013
