Town planning in the City of Casey.

Berwick · Narre Warren · Cranbourne · Clyde North · Hampton Park · Beaconsfield

Casey is Victoria's most populous municipality and one of its fastest growing — a planning environment split between the greenfield estates of Clyde North and Cranbourne East, delivered under Urban Growth Zones and precinct structure plans, and the established suburbs of Berwick and Narre Warren where infill development follows the conventional ResCode path.

The two systems work completely differently. In the growth areas, the PSP and Development Plan Overlay do most of the deciding before an application is ever lodged; in the established areas, dual occupancies and townhouse projects turn on Clause 55 and neighbourhood character like anywhere else in Melbourne.

In Casey we spend as much time reading precinct structure plans and development plan approvals as planning permits — in the growth corridor, what the PSP says about your land often matters more than the zone. For established-area infill, Berwick's character precincts and the flooding controls along the creek corridors are the recurring technical issues.

FAQs

Questions we’re asked most.

If you have a question that’s not here, call us — we answer honestly, whether or not it leads to work.

  • It means your land's development future is set by a precinct structure plan rather than conventional zoning. Until the PSP applies and services arrive, land often cannot be developed at urban densities; once it does, the PSP dictates road networks, densities, open space and contributions. Where your land sits in that sequence determines its value and timing — and is exactly what a feasibility assessment establishes.
