1-13 Shierlaw Avenue Canterbury

The Permit Holder for 1-13 Shierlaw Avenue Canterbury has lodged an application with the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) to amend the existing planning permit for the site. The application is currently listed for a compulsory conference (mediation) on 4 March 2026 and a 2-day hearing commencing on 26 May 2026. 

A copy of the plans and other application material lodged with VCAT can be obtained below.

Residents wishing to participate in the VCAT proceeding must follow the instructions in the VCAT Order, which states that a statement of grounds must be submitted to VCAT by 16 February 2026 at www.vcat.vic.gov.au/respondplanning. Further information can be obtained directly from VCAT on Ph: 1300 01 8228 and quoting the reference number P1077/2025.

The Permit Holder is applying directly to VCAT to amend the existing planning permit without Council having firstly determined the application. Although Council is still required to form a position on the amendment application prior to the VCAT hearing, it is yet to do so.
