Corangamite: what the planning scheme actually sets.

3 council-set control values across 5 residential zone schedules. Verified from the ordinance on 2026-04-28, at amendment VC312. As at 2026-08-05.

The zone code is not the answer — the schedule is. Two GRZ1 sites in different Victorian councils can carry different minimum lot sizes, because each council writes its own schedule to the state zone. Corangamite varies 3 control values from the Victoria Planning Provisions default across its 5 residential schedules. Those are listed first; everything else inherits the state number, which is stated as such rather than presented as this council's.

What Corangamite sets in schedule (3 values)

ScheduleZoneControlCouncil-set valueOrdinance
LDRZ1 Low Density Residential Minimum lot size 4000 m² Cl.
LDRZ2 Low Density Residential Minimum lot size 20000 m² Cl.
LDRZ3 Low Density Residential Minimum lot size 9000 m² Cl.

These are the numbers that differ from the state default. A site in one of these schedules is assessed against the value above, not the VPP figure.

All 5 residential zone schedules

Every parameter below is marked council-set (written into this council's schedule) or state default (inherited from the Victoria Planning Provisions). A state default is Victoria's number, not Corangamite's.

How this was compiled, and how far to trust it

All 5 schedules here were read and verified from the Corangamite planning scheme ordinance by a person. Last verified 2026-04-28. Current to amendment VC312.

Planning schemes are amended continuously and this page reflects the bundle as at 2026-08-05. Values shown as state defaults are the Victoria Planning Provisions figure for that zone — correct unless and until Corangamite writes a schedule value, which is exactly what the first table records.

This information is provided for research and preliminary screening only. It does not constitute professional planning, legal or architectural advice. Always verify with Corangamite before making decisions.
