Victorian Planning Authority - This is the state authority responsible for developing and implementing Precinct Structure Plans. These plans, or PSP's as more commonly known, are generally created for broadacre land within urban growth zone in the Metropolotan areas, as well as major regional centres. These PSP's, in consultation with affected landowners and community stakeholders, determines the category for which the affected land is to be used for. The category then, will determine the value per acre (hectare) of the affected land, be it low, medium or high density resoidential, commercial, industrial, retail. community space, etc. This, in turn, will then determine the type of buyer for that land. By all means visit the site and download a PSP and become nfamiliar with how to interpret it.
