Objections

• Policy Statement under development –Guide future involvement in planning system– “ “ reviews

• DPCD/MAV project - opportunity to:–collaborate with DPCD–trial a process

How?

• Range of DSE related s55 ‘triggers’• Focus:

–ESO1 – High Quality Agricultural Land–ESO2 – Water Catchment Areas–EMO - Erosion Mgt Overlay

Baw Baw Planning Scheme

• DSE and WG CMA are both s55 referral auth’s – Subdivisions creating lots < 40ha– Intensive animal husbandry

• Trial – simple analysis tool – process

• Outputs– Rec’s on future role of DSE (& CMA) and/or refinements to provisions– Actions to implement – Internal guideline

ESO1 – High Quality Agricultural Land

• With DPCD, identify how best to deliver recommendations:

1. Do nothing2. Letter/Agreement/MoU with council3. Seek ∆ to PS (66.04)4. Seek ∆ when PS next reviewed5. Combo 2 & 4

• Complete analysis for ESO2 and EMO

What next?

• Complete Baw Baw PS pilot• Write up process (Guideline and template)• Roll-out across other DSE regions

–Focus on different triggers or high volume PS’s

• Use learnings and apply in similar circumstances• Continue to work with DPCD to deliver change (i.e.

more efficient; more effective)

Next Steps for DSE?

• Similar or different processes by other Ref Auth’s?• Success? What difference has it made?• How easy was it to achieve?

• How have you been able to focus on ‘high value’ referrals?

Questions?
