Reference and Incorporated documents

Reference and Incorporated documents provide background information on particular policies or provisions in the Knox Planning Scheme.

They are used by Knox City Council to guide decision-making and can help inform the planning scheme.

About incorporated documents

Incorporated documents must be taken into account by Council (and VCAT) when making decisions on planning permit applications.

They can only be amended by a planning scheme amendment.
