Booking an Appointment
Appointments for any of the above services can be booked online, or by phoning 8999 6046.
If you require detailed information on the policies and requirements of relevant agencies that will be involved in the assessment of your development proposal you should consider making an appointment for the Pre-application Planning Forum.
Who will attend Appointments?
Once your appointment has been booked, a planner with skills and experience in the nature of your enquiry will be identified for your appointment. Other planning staff may also attend to assist or gain experience in pre-application meeting services.
You may invite others to the meeting such as a consultant or other representatives.
Consultation with the Community
Applications for some types of developments are required to be advertised either by notification to your neighbours or by an advertisement in the newspaper and the placement of a sign on the proposed development site. Other people have the opportunity to make a submission about your proposed development that the Development Consent Authority must consider in making its decision on your application. Under some circumstances a person who makes a submission may have a right to appeal the outcome by making an appeal to the Lands, Planning and Mining Tribunal.
It is in your interest to consider consulting with members of the community most likely to be affected by your development proposal before making your application. For example, are your neighbours likely to be interested in what you are proposing? Is there a resident group active within the local area? Are any other community organisations likely to have an interest?
Other than for any formal advertisement or notification required under the Planning Act the decision about who to specifically consult within the community is for you to make.
