CHANGE OF LAND USE -Undertaking a change in land use typically involves an application to the local Council. Councils refer to this type of activity as a Material Change in Use or “MCU”.
When a change in land use is contemplated, the Council typically expects a proponent to lodge an application so that the potential impacts of that “change” can be assessed. There are differing levels of assessment of MCU applications. These tend to relate to the scale and intensity of the change/use that is being proposed.
