Subdivisions

SPEAR allows subdivision applications online to be:

  • lodged
  • managed
  • referred
  • approved and
  • tracked.

The following applications can be processed through SPEAR:

  • All applications under the Subdivision Act 1988

  • Transfer of Land Act 1958
    • Applications with a survey component – Sections 15, 26, 60, 98, 99 and 103
  • Local Government Act 1989
    • Road alignments (Paragraph 7(3) of Schedule 10 of the Local Government Act 1989)
  • Office of Surveyor-General Victoria applications
    • Plan of Crown Allotment

However, only a Licensed Surveyor can lodge the above applications in SPEAR.

SPEAR is linked to the Victorian Mapping and Address Service (VMAS), which confirms property details for applicants.

Planning

SPEAR streamlines the planning permit application process and manages applications from 'end to end'. This includes the following:

  • lodgement
  • information requests
  • referrals
  • advertising
  • objections
  • permit decisions
  • Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) appeals.

Anyone can lodge a planning permit application through SPEAR.

SPEAR is linked directly to Planning Schemes and Planning Maps Online, which assists applicants by confirming property zoning and overlay details.
