Planning schemes are created using the framework in the Victoria Planning Provisions (VPP). They have three main parts:
Maps showing how land is affected by zones and overlays
an ordinance setting out the written requirements of a scheme, including state and local policies and the types of use or development which needs a permit (usually determined through a zone and /or overlay)
particular provisions including provisions for specific topics (such as car parking)
Incorporated documents such as the Code of Practice for Private Tennis Court Development.
The Planning and Environment Act 1987 allows certain documents to be incorporated in a planning scheme by reference, rather than by including them in the scheme itself.
Incorporated documents are included in the list in:
the Table to Clause 81.01 (statewide); or
the Schedule to Clause 81.01 (local) of the planning scheme.
Generally, where reference to a document is specifically required because the document affects the operation of the planning scheme, the document, or relevant part of the document, should be incorporated and read as part of the scheme.

Access an incorporated document
Documents which have been incorporated into a planning scheme by a local council (Schedule to Clause 81.01) form part of that planning scheme. They must be available for inspection at that council's offices and at the department's offices. The council should be able to advise if you can get copies of these incorporated documents.
Statewide incorporated documents (Table to Clause 81.01) are available from the organisations listed below. As part of every planning scheme, they are available for inspection at any local council and at the department's offices. If a document is not available online, please contact the relevant departmental office or the council to make an appointment to view it.
