IN3Z — Industrial 3 Zone

What the IN3Z zone means in Victoria, and which councils in our corpus map it. This is a plain-language summary of published material — it is not planning advice and it decides nothing about any particular site.

The light-industrial buffer zone between industry and housing: service industry, warehousing and depots with lower off-site impacts.

Built form

No default height limit; amenity conditions and interface setbacks apply near residential zones.

Typically allowed

  • Light industry and warehouses (permit conditions protect nearby residents)
  • Some small-scale convenience uses and offices (restricted)

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 (other than a caretaker’s house)
  • Industry with significant off-site impacts

What to look at

Common home of trades businesses, gyms and storage. Good owner-occupier stock, but confirm your intended use is not on the prohibited list before purchase.

This list covers the councils in our corpus only. A council we hold no data for may also map IN3Z — we simply cannot say.

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.
