A clear guide to possible uses
Could your business
work here?
This address is in Green Wedge Zone Schedule 1 (GWZ1), with a native vegetation protection overlay (VPO1). That makes the type of business more important than the fact that sheds already stand on the land.

Three different answers are possible: your use needs no land-use permit, needs a permit before it starts, or is prohibited. A permit cannot make a prohibited use lawful. Council must classify your actual activity and check any existing permit before you commit to a lease.
Growing & grazing
Growing crops or plants as agriculture, and grazing animals, are listed without a land-use permit in the Green Wedge Zone. A small rural store can also qualify when it serves agriculture on the land, is the only one on the lot and is inside a building under 100 m².
Conditions matter. Buildings, earthworks and vegetation removal can still need separate permits.Rural businesses
Plant nurseries, rural industry, domestic animal boarding, agricultural produce cool storage and vehicle stores are examples the zone allows Council to consider by planning permit.
Being eligible to apply is no guarantee of approval. Council assesses the proposed site layout and impacts.Urban-style operations
An ordinary office, a general warehouse or distribution depot, most workshops and general industry, and most stand-alone retail are listed as prohibited.
An existing shed does not give permission for any business to move in. In everyday terms
Specific ideas, clearer answers.
These are starting points under the zone rules, not approvals for this property. The details of how you operate can change the planning answer.
Grow plants or crops
Growing plants on the land as agriculture fits the zone’s permit-free category. Selling mainly plants to customers changes the use to a plant nursery, which needs a planning permit.
Firewood sales
A solid fuel depot—land used to sell firewood—is expressly permit-required. Storage, deliveries, customers and any cutting or splitting must be described. Cutting logs may be treated as a sawmill / rural industry and needs its own Council assessment.
Landscaping business
Working on clients’ sites does not automatically allow a base here. Tell Council if the site would hold trucks, equipment, soil, mulch or stock, or serve customers. A plant nursery has a permit pathway; a stand-alone garden supplies shop, general depot or workshop may fall into prohibited retail, warehouse or industry categories.
General storage & repairs
Using a shed as a general warehouse, e-commerce dispatch centre or ordinary mechanical workshop is generally prohibited. Narrow exceptions exist, such as a qualifying farm-related store or servicing equipment used in agriculture as rural industry.
The approval pathway
What getting
a permit involves.
For a permit-required use, the City of Greater Dandenong assesses the specific proposal. Council’s pre-application service treats all Green Wedge applications as complex and provides written feedback for a fee.
Talk to Council before applyingAlso check the trees. VPO1 controls removal, destruction or lopping of native vegetation, subject to its exemptions. New hardstand, drainage changes, signs and building work can trigger other permits too.
- 01
Explain what happens on site
Describe the goods or materials, where they go, any processing or sales, customer visits, operating hours, staff, trucks and daily vehicle movements. “Landscaping” or “firewood” alone is not enough detail.
- 02
Check the property paperwork
Review the GWZ1 and VPO1 controls, title restrictions, existing permits and endorsed plans. Ask Tina what is available to lease. An existing use at the site does not prove that a new or expanded use is approved.
- 03
Seek Council’s early advice
Send a site plan and a detailed description to Council. Its paid pre-application discussion service asks for a recent title, site plan and details of hours, employees and vehicle movements; it gives written feedback but cannot promise approval.
- 04
Make a complete application
If a permit is required, lodge Council’s application with title documents, scaled plans and any requested traffic, environmental or vegetation information. Council can request more material, notify others and attach conditions to an approval.
- 05
Start only after approvals
Agree who will apply and pay before signing the lease. Check any building or environmental approvals as well. Operate within the permit, approved plans and lease terms.

Useful answers,
before you call.
The best enquiry explains the work you want to do on the land, not just the name of your business.
Could a landscaping company operate here?
Potentially, but there is no blanket “landscaping business” approval. A plant nursery has a permit pathway. A contractor’s yard storing equipment and materials, a retail garden-supplies outlet and a workshop can be classified differently; some forms may be prohibited. Give Council your proposed activities and site layout before assuming the property is suitable.
Could I sell or process firewood?
Firewood sales are named as a “solid fuel depot” use and require a planning permit. Cutting logs can be a sawmill, which is treated as rural industry and also needs a permit. Whether a particular splitting, storage or delivery operation fits those definitions needs Council’s written assessment. The Street View image is historical; visible firewood signage is not proof of a current approval.
Can I lease one shed or part of the land?
Ask Tina what area is available. Confirm boundaries, access, shed dimensions, services, rent and lease terms at inspection. The planning rules apply to the proposed activity on the land, including outdoor areas.
Are mains services available?
The property has mains water and electricity. Confirm the connection, metering and capacity for the specific area you want to lease.
Can I use a shed for general storage or a workshop?
Generally no: general warehousing and general industry are prohibited in the Green Wedge Zone. Farm-related storage or servicing agricultural equipment can have a different planning classification, but the details and conditions matter.
Who arranges planning approval?
Agree that with Tina during lease discussions. A prospective tenant should seek Council’s advice early, allow for application costs and time, and obtain all required approvals before operating.
