# Summary
Excellence is awarded where land is set aside for a mini-supermarket or similar local shop, and the zone permits the land use term 'Shop' as defined in Clause 73.03 of the Victoria Planning Provisions.
A supermarket is included under the broader 'Shop' category in the VPP nesting diagram. Most subdivisions are in the General Residential Zone, where a shop may be allowed with a planning permit. Other suitable zones include Mixed Use and Commercial zones, which more readily support retail uses.
