A planning permit is required for all buildings and works, including tree removal and external painting of buildings on land included within the Heritage Overlay that is not within the extent of registration of the VHR listing.

Overlay Applies to? Permit requirements

VPO1 Township vegetation

The whole of Ranelagh

The purpose of VPO1 is to protect, enhance and regenerate areas of significant vegetation, to ensure that development minimises loss of vegetation and to recognise vegetation protection areas as locations of special significance, natural beauty. The basis for the VPO1 notes that There are many residential areas within the Mornington Peninsula’s where substantial vegetation cover, rather than built form, is the dominant visual and environmental feature. In these areas, the impression is of buildings within a landscape rather than that of landscaping around buildings. This balance between natural or introduced vegetation and built form contributes substantially to local character. A permit is required to remove vegetation. Permit exemptions include: The removal of vegetation carried out in

conjunction with a development approved under a planning permit and in accordance with an endorsed plan

The removal of vegetation necessary for the construction of a dwelling, dwelling extension or outbuilding where no planning permit is required and where a building permit has been granted for the proposed development, vegetation is only removed from the building footprint or within 2 metres of the proposed building, no tree with a trunk circumference greater than 0.35 metres is removed within 6 metres of a road frontage, and

The removal of vegetation to enable the formation of a single crossing and access driveway with a maximum width of 3.7 metres.
