Amendment C65alpi applies to all land in Alpine Shire, as well specific land in Bright, Myrtleford, and Tawonga South.

The amendment proposes to implement the recommendations of the Alpine Planning Scheme Review 2023 by introducing new or revised local content into the Municipal Planning Strategy, Planning Policy Framework, and schedules to zones, overlays, particular provisions, general provisions, and operational provisions to implement the recommendations of the Alpine Planning Scheme Review 2023.

Amendment C65alpi proposes to remove Development Plan Overlay (Schedule 1) from the area around Tempo Court, Bright, as the schedule contains no content.

Amendment C65alpi proposes to rezone the northern part of the properties at 27, 33, and 35 King Street, Myrtleford from General Residential Zone (Schedule 1) to Farming Zone so that each land parcel is no longer in two zones.

Amendment C65alpi proposes to remove Development Plan Overlay (Schedule 2) from the area around Glenbourn Drive, Tawonga South, as the schedule contains no content.

  • Clarifies and improves the style, format, language, or grammatical form of content in accordance with the requirements of the Ministerial Direction: The Form and Content of Planning Schemes and principles set out in A Practitioner’s Guide to Victoria’s Planning Schemes, June 2024 where the intended effect of that clause or any other clause is not changed.
  • Updates clause references, department names, legislation names, document references, terminology and statistical data.
