VPRS 16131 Maps: Country Victoria Planning Schemes, Interim Development Orders (IDOs) and Amendments from 1946 to Day One, 16 February 1988

Under the provisions of the Town and Country Planning Act 1944, municipalities were required to prepare Planning Schemes for the Minister's approval. The Act provided for Interim Development Orders (IDO's) to regulate development until a Planning Scheme was finalised.All planning schemes consisted of maps and ordinances. The planning scheme maps showed the zones and overlays that applied to land covered by the scheme, and the written documentation/ordinance set out the statutory requirements of the policies, zones and overlays described on the planning scheme or I.D.O. map.This series contains Country Victoria Planning Schemes and IDO maps and approved map amendments for the period 1946 to Day One, 16 February 1988.Refer to VPRS 16156 for relevant Planning Scheme Ordinances, Interim Development Order provisions and approved Amendments.The planning scheme records were maintained by the Plan Inspection Section of the Town and Country Planning Board (VA 516) and subsequently by the Department of Planning (VA 599) and the Ministry for Planning and Environment (VA 1024). The Plan Inspection officers were responsible for ensuring that the statutory procedures required by the Town and Country Planning Act for Planning Schemes, Interim Development Order and Amendments were accurately recorded on the Planning Scheme Record Cards (VPRS 16121). Planning Schemes and IDO's prepared by municipal councils, (Country Victoria) were submitted to the Minister for review by the Town and Country Planning Board and for approval by the Governor in Council.Many of the maps in the series were hand-drafted and coloured, paper or linen-based. Some maps have been damaged by heavy use over many years. Map amendments were recorded by manual notation or photocopied attachments to the original map.Maps, Ordinance and Amendments prepared by the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works (MMBW, VA 1007) relating to the Melbourne and Metropolitan Planning Scheme were maintained separately, (located in VPRS 16157 and VPRS 16158).P1 ConsignmentApproved maps are located in the P1 consignment of this series.P2 ConsignmentThe P2 consignment contains the pre Day One, 16 February 1988 Country Victoria Planning Scheme / Interim Development Order maps used as templates.To facilitate the production of state-wide Day One Planning Scheme maps, the Land Information Branch of the Ministry for Planning and Environment at times used pre-Day One maps as templates for the preparation of Planning Scheme maps to be approved under the Planning and Environment Act 1987, 16 February 1988.Example: Former Title: Shire of Maffra Planning Scheme (Balance of Shire) has been masked by adhesive label, re-titling the map set Maffra Planning Scheme Local Section Chapter Four - Balance of Shire.Former Title: Shire of Traralgon Planning Scheme/Interim Development Order has been masked by adhesive label, re-titling the map set Traralgon (Shire) Planning Scheme Local Section Chapter One.The new titles conformed to the requirements of the Planning and Environment Act 1987.

根据《1944年城乡规划法》的规定，各市政当局需编制规划方案（Planning Scheme）以供部长审批。该法案规定通过临时开发令（Interim Development Order，IDO）对开发活动进行监管，直至规划方案最终确定。

所有规划方案均包含地图与条例两部分。规划方案地图标示了适用于方案覆盖土地的分区与叠加层，而书面文件/条例则明确了规划方案或IDO地图所述政策、分区及叠加层的法定要求。

本系列包含1946年至1988年2月16日（即‘首日’）期间维多利亚州乡村地区的规划方案、IDO地图及获批的地图修正案。

有关规划方案条例、临时开发令条款及获批修正案，请查阅VPRS 16156。

规划方案记录最初由城乡规划委员会（VA 516）的规划检查科维护，随后由规划部（VA 599）及规划与环境部（VA 1024）负责。规划检查官员负责确保《城乡规划法》要求的规划方案、临时开发令及修正案相关法定程序被准确记录在规划方案记录卡（VPRS 16121）上。

维多利亚州乡村地区市政委员会编制的规划方案及IDO需提交至部长，由城乡规划委员会审核，并经总督会同行政局批准。

本系列中的许多地图为手绘彩色版本，材质为纸张或亚麻布。部分地图因多年频繁使用已受损。地图修正案通过手工标注或附于原图的复印件进行记录。

墨尔本及大都会工程局（MMBW，VA 1007）编制的与墨尔本及大都会规划方案相关的地图、条例及修正案单独保存（位于VPRS 16157及VPRS 16158）。

获批地图位于本系列的P1批次中。

P2批次
P2批次包含1988年2月16日‘首日’前维多利亚州乡村地区的规划方案/临时开发令地图，这些地图被用作模板。

为便于制作全州范围的‘首日’规划方案地图，规划与环境部的土地信息处有时会使用‘首日’前的地图作为模板，编制将根据1987年《规划与环境法》（1988年2月16日生效）获批的规划方案地图。

示例：原标题‘马弗拉郡规划方案（郡剩余区域）’被粘性标签覆盖，重新命名为‘马弗拉规划方案地方部分第四章——郡剩余区域’。

原标题‘特拉尔冈郡规划方案/临时开发令’被粘性标签覆盖，重新命名为‘特拉尔冈（郡）规划方案地方部分第一章’。

新标题符合1987年《规划与环境法》的要求。
