Change of use
Do you want to change how you use land or a building? Sometimes a planning permit isn’t required! Conversely, transforming a dwelling into a nightclub in a quiet suburban street most probably wouldn’t be supported. Whether you’re relocating a business premises or setting up a new business we can help with change of use applications and associated signage and car parking requirements.
Town Planners Melbourne clearly outlines the exact change of use by preparing existing and proposed floor plans/elevations/site plans and an accompanying planning report to ensure council are able to ascertain appropriateness as quickly as possible.

Its not uncommon for a business to operate from a premises not knowing a planning permit is required. In these instances, a planning permit application is made retrospectively.
This example is a Pilates Centre which operated for some time until a nearby resident complained about the noise. The usual documentation was prepared together with a soundproofing detail.
