How does the planning scheme
affect me?
The planning scheme covers all of the land
within the TRC area, including land that
you own or rent, as well as the land around
you. It can affect what you can do with the
land, as well as what your neighbour does
with their land.
It is important to note that the new
planning scheme only deals with future
development – it does not affect existing
development or development that has
already started. So for example, if you
are halfway building your home, you will
be unaffected. But if you were interested
in a future development, then the new
planning scheme may be used by council
to determine if it would be approved.
