CASBE councils are applying a range of tools from the Victorian Planning Provisions to support the delivery of resilient, healthy and sustainable buildings and communities.
Sustainable Design Assessment in the Planning Process (SDAPP) Framework
To deliver the sustainability objectives within their planning schemes, Victorian councils have worked together for over two decades to develop and implement a consistent and rigorous framework for assessing sustainability in the planning approvals process.
The SDAPP Framework:
The framework is supported by the BESS tool and the Sustainable Design fact Sheets.
Any Victorian council is welcome to join CASBE and implement the framework in their municipality. Please contact us for more information.

Sustainable Design Fact Sheets
The Sustainable Design Fact Sheets are a series of information sheets aimed at the development industry. They outline Best Practice Standards and offer sustainable design advice.
CASBE maintains these Fact Sheets on behalf of our member councils.
