Council has received a planning permit application for a multi-lot residential subdivision at 750 Glasscocks Road, Cranbourne North. This site is currently the Cranbourne Golf Course.
What does the proposal include?

- Use and development of a Display Home Centre
- Multi-lot subdivision
- Construction of 2 or more dwellings on a lot

- Creation of reserves
- Removal of native vegetation.
How can I view the proposal and provide feedback?
You can view the permit application and make a submission supporting or objecting to the application on our website until Monday 10 November 2025.
In response to feedback from the community, Council has extended the public notice period. Council will not decide on the application before this date.
Have residents been informed about this application?
Council notified all properties adjoining the proposed site via a letter, in accordance with our obligations under the Planning and Environment Act.
The applicant also sent adjoining properties a detailed flyer that outlined the proposal, which included a subdivision layout plan showing proposed public open space and vegetation retention and project timelines.
What is the planning framework for this site?
The land where the golf course is located has been earmarked for housing development for over 25 years. It’s officially zoned General Residential under the Casey Planning Scheme.
There are no planning overlays that apply to this land. Because of this, the applicant does not need to create a master plan or development plan. They can go directly to a planning permit application with Council.
Hallam Road Landfill
The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) landfill buffer guidelines recommend a 1,500 metre separation distance between a landfill and a new residential development.
If an applicant proposes to reduce this recommended separation distance, the EPA recommends that a risk assessment be completed.
In this instance, the applicant has submitted a Qualitative Risk Assessment prepared by DRC Environmental with their permit application. This risk assessment advocates for a reduced separation distance of 1,000 metres.
You can view a copy of the risk assessment via the link below.
