Planning hearings and compulsory conferences at Wyndham Law Courts

Published December 2025

With the opening of the Wyndham Law Courts, changes are proposed to take effect from 1 January 2026 that will see planning cases heard at Wyndham, expanding the number of municipalities able to access suburban services.

Planning and Environment Act 1987 (Vic) with in-person hearings and compulsory conferences from selected municipalities will be heard at the Wyndham Law Courts.

Be sure to carefully read orders sent to you so that you know where the hearing or compulsory conference will be held, which may include the Tribunal’s other venues in the Melbourne CBD, Bundoora, Frankston and Oakleigh.
