Mt Eliza Woodland is subject to specific planning restrictions, including DDO18 (Design & Development Overlay Schedule 18) (shown at left). The full DDO18 can be downloaded DDO18. For more details about planning overlays that affect Woodland, click here.
The full Mornington Peninsula Planning Scheme can be downloaded[external site] [5.7 MB] from the shire website.
As happens in every municipal area, Mt Eliza Woodland is subject to development pressures. There is a robust scheme for development applications, which initially involves applying to the shire council for a permit. If this is not given, the aspiring developer can appeal to VCAT (Victorian Civil & Administrative Tribunal).
MEWRA monitors planning applications and will consider intervening in cases where it considers a proposed development to not be in the interests of Woodland residents or the proposed application would be in contravention of the Planning Scheme. Development applications in which MEWRA is taking an interest can be seen through the ‘Current Planning Issues’ menu (under the Planning dropdown menu) on this site.
You can also find out what planning applications are submitted to the Shire within 2 km of your address by registering with Planning Alerts[external site].
