Flood-related Amendments Standing Advisory Committee

Overview

The Flood-related Amendments Standing Advisory Committee was appointed by the Minister for Planning on 1 May 2023.

The committee has been asked to provide advice to the minister, councils and catchment management authorities on specific matters referred to it regarding the implementation of flood studies and any associated draft planning scheme amendments.

The committee will enable quicker and more consistent decisions for the implementation of all future flood-study-related planning scheme amendments.

This initiative complements the Victorian Government's flood-recovery response to the devasting effect of recent floods and assistance to flood-affected communities to begin their recovery.
