About the Amendment
In March 2010, the land was included in the EastLink Project Area and Extended Project Area to enable development and use as freeway service centres without planning approval, with reliance on an exemption in the EastLink Project Act 2004.
In October 2025, the land was removed from the EastLink Project Area and Extended Project Area, making it subject to the Knox Planning Scheme (scheme) permit requirements. Under the scheme, there are components of each freeway service centre which would render them prohibited under Clause 53.05 Freeway Service Centre.
To enable the existing use of the land as freeway service centres to continue, the amendment applies a Specific Controls Overlay to the land.
The Amendment
• Applies a Specific Controls Overlay to parts of the land currently zoned Commercial 2 Zone;
• Amends the Schedule to Clause 45.12 (Specific Controls Overlay) to insert SCO5 and the incorporated document;
• Amends the Schedule to Clause 72.04 (Incorporated Documents) to insert the incorporated document;
• Amends Planning Scheme Map No. 5SCO to apply SCO5 to part of 1500 Eastlink, Scoresby, and 1501 Eastlink, Scoresby.
