Improved interim landslide planning control for the Peninsula

Key points

• Thousands of Mornington Peninsula properties will be removed from the interim Erosion Management Overlay, known as EMO7, after Victorian Government approval of Amendment C314morn. The number of covered properties falls from about 33,000 to 6,000.
• Some minor building works will face simpler planning requirements. A small number of properties will be added, mostly beside slopes.
• Mayor Stephen Batty said a broader landslide study will take two to four years to complete and will guide permanent controls.
