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.
