Latrobe: what the planning scheme actually sets.

11 council-set control values across 19 residential zone schedules. Verified from the ordinance on 2026-07-03, 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. Latrobe varies 11 control values from the Victoria Planning Provisions default across its 19 residential schedules. Those are listed first; everything else inherits the state number, which is stated as such rather than presented as this council's.

All 19 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 Latrobe's.

How this was compiled, and how far to trust it

16 of 19 schedules here were read and verified from the ordinance by a person; the remaining 3 were machine-extracted and are marked "~" above. Treat those as screening grade. Last verified 2026-07-03. 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 Latrobe 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 Latrobe before making decisions.
