Development

Wellington Shire Council is committed to ensuring that the amenity and safety of the community is maintained when using buildings and places of public entertainment.

The Wellington Shire has a remarkably diverse industrial landscape, which also translates to the workforce.

Wellington Shire Council is responsible for the management of key community assets and infrastructure.

The Ninety Mile Beach subdivision is a 25-kilometre strip of land located between Bass Strait and Lake Reeve, which extends north of the Honeysuckles to Paradise Beach.

A planning permit allows the undertaking of a particular use or development (subdivision, buildings and works) to proceed on a specific piece of land.

Wellington's Land Use Planning Policies regulate the use of land in an efficient, effective and ethical way, and ensure that policy reflects the values of the community and promotes sustainable development.

Amendments to the Wellington Planning Scheme are generally to introduce or update policy, change the zoning of land or change overlays.

The Wellington Planning Scheme provides a clear and consistent framework within which decisions about the use and development of land in Wellington Shire can be made.
