Fitzroy And Collingwood Planning Controls

Yarra City Council

Now is your opportunity to help us shape the future of Fitzroy and Collingwood by providing a submission on draft Amendment C271yara.

Yarra City Council is proposing to introduce permanent built form and design requirements for the Major and Neighbourhood Activity Centres of Fitzroy and Collingwood through 12 Design and Development Overlay Schedules (DDOs).

The 12 proposed DDOs aim to provide a balanced approach, guiding different levels of potential development across Fitzroy and Collingwood activity centres, commercial and mix-use zoned properties.

The draft Amendment aims to ensure that new buildings and developments are more sensitive towards heritage buildings and minimise the impact on both residential and public spaces including:

  • backyards
  • footpaths
  • parks
  • and expanded street corners

We're now able to exhibit the draft Amendment C271yara for community submissions.
