VicSmart applications

VicSmart is a streamlined assessment process for straightforward planning applications. You can submit a VicSmart application if you plan to carry out the following works in the specified zone or overlay:

  • remove, destroy or lop one tree
  • construct a building, or carry out minor buildings and works, in a zone or overlay
  • signage in a commercial or industrial zone
  • car parking reduction or waiver
  • extend one dwelling on a lot in a residential zone
  • construct or extend a front fence in a residential zone.

Your application must meet set criteria to be considered under the VicSmart process.

VicSmart subdivision applications must be submitted online through SPEAR. We recommend you hire a land surveyor to assist with your VicSmart subdivision application.
