A comprehensive and authoritative guide to planning and environment law in Victoria. The full text of principal legislation is reproduced and other related legislation and legislative instruments including the Victoria Planning Principles is extracted for both planning and environment fields. The detailed and authoritative commentary covers several topics including planning schemes, non-conforming (existing) uses, planning reviews, environmental noise, litter, water and air quality. The Planning Appeal Casenotes volume discusses principles of planning law and general appeals procedure with reference to important Administrative Appeals Tribunal (Planning Division) and the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (Planning List) decisions. The service includes commentary in narrative form, annotations to the main Acts, a continuing series of casenotes, with extensive cross-referencing between them all, making it an indispensable resource for legal and planning practitioners.

Comprehensiveness is important in this area of law as there is a very wide range of material which needs to be taken into account in assessing a DA for example; and the wide spread of material can make it difficult to keep track of everything with which affected persons need to comply. Customers can be confident in PEV’s comprehensiveness, practicality and authoritativeness.
