Full description

Under the provisions of the Town and Country Planning Act 1944, municipalities were required to prepare Planning Schemes for the Minister's approval. The Act provided for Interim Development Orders (IDO's) to regulate development until a Planning Scheme was finalised.

All planning schemes consisted of maps and ordinances. The planning scheme maps showed the zones and overlays that applied to land covered by the scheme, and the written documentation/ordinance set out the statutory requirements of the policies, zones and overlays described on the planning scheme or I.D.O. map.

This series contains Country Victoria Planning Schemes and IDO maps and approved map amendments for the period 1946 to Day One, 16 February 1988.

Refer to VPRS 16156 for relevant Planning Scheme Ordinances, Interim Development Order provisions and approved Amendments.

The planning scheme records were maintained by the Plan Inspection Section of the Town and Country Planning Board (VA 516) and subsequently by the Department of Planning (VA 599) and the Ministry for Planning and Environment (VA 1024). The Plan Inspection officers were responsible for ensuring that the statutory procedures required by the Town and Country Planning Act for Planning Schemes, Interim Development Order and Amendments were accurately recorded on the Planning Scheme Record Cards (VPRS 16121). Planning Schemes and IDO's prepared by municipal councils, (Country Victoria) were submitted to the Minister for review by the Town and Country Planning Board and for approval by the Governor in Council.

Many of the maps in the series were hand-drafted and coloured, paper or linen-based. Some maps have been damaged by heavy use over many years. Map amendments were recorded by manual notation or photocopied attachments to the original map.

Maps, Ordinance and Amendments prepared by the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works (MMBW, VA 1007) relating to the Melbourne and Metropolitan Planning Scheme were maintained separately, (located in VPRS 16157 and VPRS 16158).

P1 Consignment
Approved maps are located in the P1 consignment of this series.

P2 Consignment
The P2 consignment contains the pre Day One, 16 February 1988 Country Victoria Planning Scheme / Interim Development Order maps used as templates.

To facilitate the production of state-wide Day One Planning Scheme maps, the Land Information Branch of the Ministry for Planning and Environment at times used pre-Day One maps as templates for the preparation of Planning Scheme maps to be approved under the Planning and Environment Act 1987, 16 February 1988.

Example: Former Title: Shire of Maffra Planning Scheme (Balance of Shire) has been masked by adhesive label, re-titling the map set Maffra Planning Scheme Local Section Chapter Four - Balance of Shire.

Former Title: Shire of Traralgon Planning Scheme/Interim Development Order has been masked by adhesive label, re-titling the map set Traralgon (Shire) Planning Scheme Local Section Chapter One.

The new titles conformed to the requirements of the Planning and Environment Act 1987.
