IN2Z — Industrial 2 Zone
A heavy-industry zone reserved for industries needing substantial buffers from housing — the least amenity-sensitive industrial land in the scheme.
Built form
No default height limit; large threshold distances (Clause 53.10) are the operative control.
Typically allowed
- Heavy industry and warehousing (many without a permit)
- A caretaker’s house (permit)
What is allowed on a particular site depends on the council’s schedule to this zone and any overlays. Check the scheme; we make no determination.
Typically not allowed
- Dwellings
- Retail, offices unrelated to the industry, and sensitive uses
What to look at
Specialised land for major industrial users. Not suitable for any residential or mixed-use aspiration, and surrounding uses can be genuinely heavy.

This page reports what is mapped in published VIC planning data, as we last synced it on 23 May 2026. It is general information, not planning advice, and it makes no assessment of any proposal. Whether an approval is needed, and what a council decides, are matters for the responsible authority — check the council’s own planning scheme and contact them directly.
