Verified sourceThis update is shown using the amendment's own official record or its exact wording, rather than a PolicyPing-generated summary — verified directly from source.

We detected a change to Maroondah's planning scheme (VC323): for full accuracy, we're showing the amendment's own official government description directly: "Amend clause 59.05 (Building and works in an overlay) to enable a VicSmart application for land within an EMO to be accompanied by the information specified in the EMO, including information specified in a schedule to the EMO.", this is the amendment's own official wording, not a PolicyPing-generated description of the scheme text.

Maroondah's planning scheme was amended by C162maro: Planning Vic's own gazettal document manifest confirms this amendment changed planning scheme maps only, with no ordinance or schedule text amended, so there is no clause-level wording for PolicyPing to compare; the amendment's own official government description reads: "Rezones two parcels of land on Croydon Road (adjacent to 320-340 Wonga Road, Warranwood) from Transport Zone 2 (TRZ2) to Green Wedge A Zone Schedule 1 (GWAZ1) to correct inadvertent rezoning of the land.", this is the amendment's own official wording, not a PolicyPing-generated description of the scheme text.
