Can my Planning Permit be extended?
A condition on your planning permit will state the time period within which the use or development needs to be commenced. Your permit can be extended, provided the request for extension is received within 6 months of the end of the permit. In your request for extension you will be asked to provide reasons for your request.
In many cases Wyndham City will grant a first time extension, provided you have a valid reason. Further time extensions may be granted and are considered on a case by case basis.

Can I amend my Planning Permit?
If you wish to change your permit preamble, any permit conditions or make changes to your endorsed plans, you may apply to Wyndham City for an amendment under Section 72 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987.
An application to amend a planning permit (and/or the endorsed plans) is processed in the same way as a standard planning application. An assessment will be made as to whether the proposed amendment is likely to impact on any other property. If it is determined that this is likely, Wyndham City will require public notification of the application.
The decision making process and appeal rights are the same as those for a standard planning permit application. You need to download, complete and submit an Application to Amend a Planning Permit or Application for Secondary Consent (Minor Amendment to Endorsed Plans)
COVID-19 – Planning Permit Exemptions for Hospitality
The Victorian Government has introduced exemptions to the Victorian Planning Scheme Clause 52.18 to support the hospitality sector transition to outdoor dining as part of the response to COVID-19.
The exemptions will make it easier for hospitality businesses (including restaurants, cafes, take away food premises, bars and convenience restaurants) to modify their operations on their own properties and public land managers to make land available for outdoor dining without the need to obtain a planning permit, subject to conditions.
