88A Wedge Street Kyneton and 90 Wedge Street Kyneton

Following on from Council’s last update, VCAT’s review of Council’s decision is now set to be heard on the 7 and 8 August 2024. Council will provide a final update once a decision is made by VCAT. 

Following Council’s refusal of the Wedge Street Development Plan (DP/2022/3) at the 6 December 2023 Planning Delegated Committee, the applicant has applied to VCAT to review Council’s decision.

Council is now preparing for the hearing and has obtained a representative to prepare the submission on Council’s behalf. The case has been given the VCAT reference number P1596/2023.

The hearing is scheduled to take place on 18 and 19 March 2024 via an online platform.

Under the Development Plan Overlay, residents do not automatically have the right to appeal to VCAT regarding an application for approval of a Development Plan or be part of the VCAT review process.

An affected person can apply to be joined to a proceeding under section 60 of the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 1998. In deciding whether to join a person to the proceeding, VCAT will have regard to provisions in the planning scheme that exclude participation by third parties and also the nature of the proceeding itself.

The decision to join an appeal is made by VCAT. For more information, contact VCAT.

Thank you to everyone for their contributions to the Wedge Street (Kyneton) Development Plan process.

We will provide updates with any additional information when it becomes available.

Council heard the submitters at the Planning Delegated Committee Meeting held on 12 July 2023 regarding the Development Plan application DP/2022/3 – 88A Wedge Street, Kyneton and 90 Wedge Street which seeks the approval of a Development Plan for the Wedge & Ebden Streets, Kyneton - Former Industrial Zone Area, Development Plan Overlay Schedule 17 (DPO17) for the land at 83 Powlett Street, and 88A and 90 Wedge Street, Kyneton.

Adjoining and surrounding landholders and occupiers were informed of the application.
