Council has been advised by the Minister for Planning of his decision to refer a proposed Planning Scheme Amendment and Planning Permit Application (to allow housing development) for the former Kingswood Golf Course site in Dingley Village, to the State Government’s Golf Course Redevelopment Standing Advisory Committee (SAC).

The Planning Minister’s decision means that although Council, like the community, will have an opportunity to make a submission to the Advisory Committee, Kingston Council will not have the final say about the future of the site. Council recently wrote to local residents to let them know.

In 2019 the State Government set up the SAC and approved new state-wide planning guidelines for proposed golf course redevelopments.
The Committee will consider whether proposals for the rezoning and development of golf course land satisfy the new Planning Guidelines and are consistent with State and Local Planning Policy.

Council and members of the community will have an opportunity to make submissions during the public exhibition period. Submissions have been extended and close Friday 3 September.

Planning Panels Victoria is required to publicly exhibit the proposed Planning Scheme Amendment for a minimum of 30 business days, after which a public hearing will take place. A final report will then be submitted to the Minister for Planning to determine whether to approve the amendment with or without changes.

The plans can be viewed:
