Development Applications on Notification

The process of public notification and consultation allows the public and in particular, adjoining or nearby property owners, the opportunity to view a proposed development, consider the likely impacts the proposal may have on them and provide any comments about the proposal prior to a decision being made.

The Development Act 1993, Development Regulations 2008 and Council's Development Plan specify three categories of public notification, listed below. (Section 49 - on public comment). These are:

• Category 1 - no public notification (search Category 1 applications through our eTracking portal);
• Category 2 - personal notice to owners/occupiers of adjoining land; and
• Category 3 - a general public notification through a public notice in The Advertiser in addition to a personal notice to owner/occupiers of adjoining land and any other owner/occupier of land which in the opinion of the Council would be affected to a significant degree by the proposal were it to proceed.
• Section 49 - on public comment.
