Question
Does the Local Council Approve Development at Essendon Airport?
Answer
As the land is owned by the Commonwealth Government developments on the airport is regulated by the Commonwealth and not by Local Council or State Government planning controls. The planning controls implemented by the Commonwealth at Essendon Airport are similar to those used by Local Government in Victoria.
