Casey planning application fees

VicSmart is a simple and fast planning permit assessment process for straight forward planning applications in Victoria. It covers specific types of planning applications to be assessed by councils within 10 days, provided applications meet the VicSmart criteria, are accompanied by all of the information required by the relevant VicSmart checklist, and the council fee.

Unlike more complex planning applications, these applications are often done by individuals, small businesses, architects, builders, designers and developers rather than town planners.
