Craigieburn Planning FAQs
What planning zone applies in Craigieburn?
Comprehensive Development Zone - Schedule 1 (CDZ1) was the most common zone across our sample of Craigieburn, at 7 of 17 points inside the suburb boundary. Other zones present include UGZ8, IN3Z, UGZ12. Your own site's zone is what governs it — check the title or run a site screen before relying on the local pattern.
Does Craigieburn have a Development Plan Overlay?
DPO7 appeared at 7 of the 17 points we sampled in Craigieburn, so it is common locally without being universal. The Development Plan Overlay requires an approved development plan, which in practice means that plan must be in place before a permit can issue.
What permit pathway applies to development in Craigieburn?
Standard Permit was indicated at 12 of 17 sampled points in Craigieburn, based on the zone and overlays at each. Hume is the responsible authority. The pathway for a specific site depends on what is proposed and how many lots are involved.
