SUZ8 — Special Use Zone
A purpose-built zone for a specific non-standard use — racecourses, quarries, institutions, major venues — with the rules written in the schedule.
Built form
Entirely schedule-driven: each SUZ schedule defines its own permit triggers and built-form rules.
Typically allowed
- The specific use(s) nominated in the schedule
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
- Uses outside the schedule’s purpose (generally prohibited)
What to look at
Read the numbered schedule (e.g. SUZ3) — it is effectively a custom mini-scheme for the site, and conventional residential use is often not available.

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.
