Exceptional development permit decisions
After your exceptional development permit (EDP) application is received, it goes to the minister for planning for consideration.
The minister for planning may grant an EDP to:
- allow changes to an existing use or building that was previously permitted but is now prohibited or
- establish a use or development prohibited by a planning scheme.
Read how to apply for an exceptional development permit.
