Planning and Environment Act 1987

Subject to subsection (3), a government department, public authority or municipal council must not carry out works in the Melbourne Airport Environs Area which are not in conformity with the approved strategy plan.

If a government department, public authority or municipal council considers that any works or undertakings which are not in conformity with the approved strategy plan should be carried out, the department, authority or council may make submissions with respect to the proposed works and undertakings to the Premier.

After considering any submission under subsection (2), the Premier, on the advice of the Minister, may, despite anything in any other Act, by order prohibit, either absolutely or on such terms as he or she thinks fit, or restrict or regulate the carrying out of the works or undertakings or any part of them specified in the order.
