    Changes to the Bayside Planning Scheme

    To ensure that the Bayside Planning Scheme remains current, and takes into consideration new objectives or changes within the Bayside community, amendments are prepared.

    Generally, amendments are initiated by the Minister for Planning, or by Council as the planning authority. Anyone can initiate a planning scheme amendment, though it is advisable to seek advice from a planning consultant first.
