When applying for a planning permit associated with a proposed licensed venue, some Councils in Victoria require certain information in order to properly assess your application against the relevant planning scheme and other controls in their particular area. To ensure that your application is processed in the shortest possible time frame, it is important to include all required information specific to your local government authority.
Some Council's in Victoria, including (but not limited to) the cities of Stonnington, Yarra, Moonee Valley, Monash and Greater Dandenong require you to lodge a 'Noise and Amenity Action Plan'.
What is a Noise and Amenity Action Plan?
A Noise and Amenity Action Plan is a written document which describes, in detail, the potential noise and amenity impacts the could result from the inception of a proposed licensed venue in a particular area. The plan also describes actions which can be taken to reduce any negative impacts resulting from the proposal.

A number of matters are required to be addressed within a noise and amenity action plan, many of which will depend on which local council is responsible for considering your application. Some if these matters include (but are not necessarily limited to):
