Which Councils are pro development?
I managed planning applications at Councils across Melbourne and some of the Councils in regional Victoria.
There are some 31 councils in Melbourne.
Banyule Council, Bayside City Council, Boroondara City Council, Brimbank City Council, Cardinya Shire Council, Casey City Council, Darebin City Council, Frankston City Council, Glen Eira City Council, Greater Dandenong City Council, Hobsons Bay City Council, Hume Council, Kingston City Council, Knox City Council, Manningham City Council, Maribyrnong City Council, Maroondah City Council, Melton Sire Council, Monash City Council, Moonee Valley City Council, Moreland City Council, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, Nillumbik Shire Council, Port Phillip City Council, Stonnington City Council, Whitehorse City Council, Whittlesea City Council, Macedon Ranges Shire Council, Geelong City Council, Surf Coast Council, Yarra Ranges Council, City Of Ballarat and others.

In principle each Council- or more importantly the elected Councillors- have their design preferences and have a bias towards some of the planning policies.
If one knows those "secrets" and can design well taking into consideration the planning policies, chances are your dual occ application will be successful.
For argument, some councils prefer a single storey built form in the back or last unit , while others will support a duplex on a minimum frontage while others will just not like a duplex in their municipality and VCAT might be the only option!
