PLANNING SUBMISSIONS IN CRANBOURNE AND THE CITY OF CASEY

The City of Casey is one of Victoria's fastest-growing municipalities, and Cranbourne sits at the heart of its development activity. The Casey Planning Scheme governs what can be built, how land can be subdivided, and what uses are permitted across suburbs, including Cranbourne, Cranbourne East, Cranbourne North, Cranbourne West, Botanic Ridge, and Lynbrook. Planning applications must comply with applicable zones, overlays, and precinct structure plans specific to each parcel.


Growth area sites in Cranbourne East and Cranbourne North are subject to development plan overlays, adding requirements on top of standard permit applications. Rural land south of Cranbourne falls under the Green Wedge Zone, which carries its own restrictions. Carson Development Consultants Pty Ltd can review your property's zoning and overlay conditions as part of an initial feasibility assessment, helping you avoid costly delays or incomplete applications.

WHAT TYPES OF PLANNING APPLICATIONS DOES CARSON DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANTS PTY LTD HANDLE?

Carson Development Consultants Pty Ltd handles a broad range of planning submissions for Cranbourne and surrounding suburbs, including residential subdivision planning permits from two-lot splits through to multi-stage estates, boundary re-alignment applications (which may qualify for VicSmart processing), use and development applications for residential extensions and commercial premises, multi-unit development applications covering townhouses and apartments, and applications requiring referral to Melbourne Water, the CFA, or VicRoads.


The team manages the full submission scope, from preparing supporting documentation and plans through to liaising with the City of Casey planning officers and responding to requests for further information. For subdivision planning permits, the process involves both a planning permit and subsequent plan certification, and the team can administer both stages on your behalf.

THE PLANNING SUBMISSION PROCESS

IN CRANBOURNE

A well-prepared planning submission reduces the risk of delays and objections. 



The process typically follows these steps:

1. Initial Site Assessment and Feasibility: The team reviews your property's zone, overlays, and any applicable structure plans to confirm what permits are needed and whether your proposal is likely to succeed.


2. Preparation of Planning Submissions and Supporting Documents: This may include site plans, design reports, arborist assessments, car parking assessments, or other technical reports required by City of Casey.


3. Lodgement With City of Casey: The completed application is submitted to council, which then assigns a planning officer to conduct a preliminary assessment.


4. Referrals and Advertising: The application may be referred to service authorities or external bodies and advertised to nearby property owners in accordance with the Planning and Environment Act 1987.


5. Decision and Follow-Up: City of Casey approves or refuses. If approved, the team can coordinate with solicitors, referral authorities, and the Land Titles Office to progress certification and compliance.


For building subdivision development, the team offers end-to-end project management extending into engineering coordination and construction oversight.

    Im a Building Designer and CDC are one of the best if not the best land surveyors east of the city, i have used Cliff and the team for many years now there documents are always perfect with all the information i need to get my job done properly i still have clients use of land surveyors from time to time and always thankful i have Cliff to rely on, other offices miss important info relevant to the design process, or just don't give enough spot levels or locate trees in the wrong spots, or there documentation just isn't presented as nicely as CDC's.

    Also Cliff has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to development of residential sites and as always will to give his expert to advise to me which I'm always grateful for.

    Your money is safe when you spend it with these guys, don't look anywhere else honestly!

    I have been working with CDC for just under a year now for a residential subdivision. Initially I started with Cliff and his honesty, transparency and the thoroughness of his work blew me away. I have since been working with Belinda and I cannot recommend her more highly. She was extremely efficient, communication was always on point and she just went above and beyond. Due to council issues it was such a stressful process at times but CDC made it so effortless. They were also very reasonably priced compared to others. Cliff was very honest from the outset saying I could find someone cheaper or more expensive but that he came with a wealth of experience and knowledge. He was 100% right. Would not trust anyone else for further developments. You are in amazing hands.
