Series Overview
The Drafting ACG次元网 Schemes Series is designed to give planners, lawyers and other drafters a deep understanding of how to effectively draft controls for planning schemes. It is set in the context of the Planning and Environment Act, published advice from DELWP, VCAT decisions and Planning Panel recommendations.
The series has a focus on developing and drafting relevant and usable policy, and appropriate stakeholder engagement through the policy development process.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the series a participant who has completed all modules will be equipped with the skills to confidently, clearly, concisely and efficiently draft ACG次元网 policy for Victorian planning schemes.
Approach
The approach used by the team is to provide theory backed by real life case studies and hands on projects to be completed as part of the module.
Each module is based upon a flexible learning model and will include:
- Theory and case study delivery by course presenters.
- Small group work to analyse and discuss case studies provided.
- Skills to take back to the workplace.
Delivery
Days are run as individual, self-contained modules, but are designed as a progressive series where each module builds on the skills learnt in the previous module. Participants can choose one, two, three or all four of the modules in the series. A discount of 20% applies when the 4 modules are booked together.

COURSES INCLUDED
How the ACG次元网 Scheme Works
This module provides an overview of elements of the Victoria Planning Provisions and how to use them to construct a planning scheme. It explores the different elements of the Victoria Planning Provisions in some detail, and how they should be used, providing participants with strategies and techniques to help select the best tools to use in their local planning scheme. It includes advice and strategies about how to use parent provisions to determine what can be included in local policy including schedules to zones, overlays and provisions.
Drafting the MPS and PPF
This module is a practical module to build skills in the drafting of the MPS and the PPF (recognising that there is a transitional period between 2019 and 2020 where some councils will still be working with a LPPF). The module will include the role of the MPS and PPF and emphasise that these clauses only come into effect if a permit is triggered through another control in the scheme. Attention will be paid to streamlining the MPS and PPF to avoid repetition with other parts of the scheme, therefore making the scheme easier to interpret for applicants, statutory planners and VCAT.
Drafting Schedules - Zones, Overlays and Provisions
This module is a practical module to build skills in the drafting of zones and schedules to zones, overlays and particular provisions. The module will include drafting zone controls from scratch, including constructing a table of uses, understanding the scope of what overlay controls can achieve in line with the purpose of the parent clause, and identifying and addressing potential overlaps and conflicts in controls within the scheme as a whole.
Masterclass - Drafting the Design and Development Overlay
You’ve learned the theory – now it’s time to get down to the nitty gritty of drafting a Design and Development Overlay. This overlay has been selected for the masterclass as it is regularly used and contains many different drafting elements. The day will be structured around a real example of a policy that needs to be translated into a DDO schedule. Short periods of teaching will be followed by the opportunity to work in small groups to draft each element as it is taught. The course will draw on published advice from DELWP, decisions by VCAT and recommendations by Planning Panels Victoria. At the end of the day you will have a completed DDO schedule to use as a basis for future drafting you may do.
