Section 151 (1) of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 allows for the Minister for Planning to establish committees to advise on any matters which the Minister refers to them. These committees are referred to as 'Advisory Committees'.
Advisory committees are generally established to consider matters under one of the following categories:
- Site specific proposals - established to consider proposals for a specific site, and are usually for a particular development of that site.
- General or policy - established to review planning controls that do not necessarily apply to a particular site or area, i.e. car parking controls and planning provisions.
- Appeal call-ins - matters called-in by the Minister for Planning from the Planning Division of the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal
A list of major Advisory Committee reports that have been submitted are listed below. The reports are either listed under the municipality that the proposal falls within or in the case of Advisory Committees that do not affect a particular site, a name that the project is generally known as.
