The City of Vincent is reviewing Policy No. 7.1.1 Built Form and seeking community feedback on the proposed changes.
Background
In August 2025 Council approved the review of Policy No. 7.1.1 Built Form (renamed to Local Planning Policy: Built Form) for the purpose of community consultation.
This policy provides guidance on the planning and design of all development within the City of Vincent.
The review is in response to changes made to the State planning requirement, specifically the Residential Design Codes.

Proposed amendments
The draft Local Planning Policy: Built Form proposes changes to the following design elements:
- lot boundary setbacks
- landscaping

- Environmentally Sustainable Design (refer to the review of Local Planning Policy: Sustainable Design)
