Why is a Change of Use Permit Important in Melbourne?

Melbourne is known for its strict planning controls, particularly regarding property use. Local councils want to ensure that businesses operate in areas zoned for their type of activity to maintain the balance and character of different neighbourhoods. Applying for a Change of Use permit ensures your business complies with these zoning regulations, and failure to do so can lead to costly penalties, delays, or even the inability to operate.

VicUrban Town Planning has a detailed understanding of these regulations and will guide you through every step of your Change of Use Application in Melbourne, ensuring your project complies from the start.
