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?
Brown Property Group (BPG) purchased the land in 2024 and have submitted a planning permit application for:
- Use and development of a Display Home Centre
- Multi-lot subdivision
- Construction of 2 or more dwellings on a lot
- Display of signage
- Reduction in car parking
- Creation of reserves
- Removal of native vegetation.
How can I view the proposal and provide feedback?
The permit application and relevant documents were on public notice until Monday 10 November 2025. The public notice period has now closed.
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.

Under Council’s Protocols for Councillors – Land Use Planning policy, this planning permit application has been called in by Councillors.
