Reference and Incorporated documents

Below you will find reference and incorporated documents to the Maribyrnong Planning Scheme.

Reference documents are documents listed in Clause 21.12 of the Planning Scheme. They generally provide background information to assist in understanding the context within which a provision has been framed.

Incorporated documents are documents listed in Clause 72.04 of the Planning Scheme. They form part of the Planning Scheme and help guide decision making on planning matters.

This page only shows local incorporated documents listed in Schedule to Clause 72.04 of the Planning Scheme. In addition to local incorporated documents, the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) website provide access to incorporated documents that apply to all of Victoria and the Metropolitan region. The DTP website is regularly updated and represent the most up-to-date source of this information.
