Planning and Development
Murrindindi Shire Council's Planning Unit strives to provide a well-planned, liveable municipality for our residents.
The Murrindindi Planning Scheme provides guidelines for development and aims to regulate the use of land and balance social, environmental and economic issues.
Good planning makes sure that investment and decision making is relevant to the needs of the community and provides a sustainable base for future generations.
We encourage you to contact Council before you buy land or start making any plans to build or develop land.
Our Online Planning and Building Portal (Greenlight) is your one-stop-shop to applying, amending or objecting a planning permit. You can also submit a general enquiry via the portal for our team to respond to.
