I think the active application is for the distillery- not for the renovation?
Wouldn't they just need a BP- not a DP- for the office renovations?

There's a rezoning application to add brewing/distilling/liquor sales/etc to the existing zone, and there's a development variance permit application to reduce the parking requirement. There is no active DP.
A BP is required for the interior works, and a DP may or may not be required for exterior works depending on how Victoria has defined their DP areas (this varies from municipality to municipality).
I think that the application for heritage designation and the associated application for heritage restoration funding/tax incentive were approved?
