Planning and Building

How can we help you today?

Due to changes in the Planning & Environment Amendment Act, our advertised planning applications are no longer available to view online.

If you wish to view an advertised planning application then you will need to do so in person at Bayside City Council Corporate Centre, 76 Royal Avenue, Sandringham, 3191 from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

You can still make an objection to or support a planning permit online.
