VerifiedFirst you need to make a written objection to council. But if they refuse to budge, then the next step is hiring a planning lawyer to appeal their decision in the VCAT. There is of course no guarantee that you'd be successful, so you have to consider and weigh the potential cost of removing the barrier against the legal fees entailed in objecting.
Should you have any other questions, please let me know.
If you're satisfied with the results of your question, then I'll ask you to please provide positive feedback so that I will get credit for the time spent on your question. Your question can continue even after you leave positive feedback, so if you have any follow up questions please don't be afraid to ask.
