| Application Process For Planning Permits | |
| In considering an application, Council will in most cases decide whether material detriment may be caused to any person, and if so, it must give them an opportunity to comment on the proposal.
There are a number of ways of giving notice of an application, including notifying the owners and occupiers of nearby properties and placing advertisements in local newspapers and on the land itself.
With some applications, Council must seek the views of other government or public agencies before making a decision. Council may also ask you to provide further supporting information.
Once any necessary advertising has been completed and other agencies have had time to comment, the application will be decided.
In making a decision, Council must assess an application against the strategies and desired outcomes outlined in the scheme’s policy frameworks. Any other matters that the scheme specifies must also be taken in to account.
Council will decide on one of three options; issue a permit, issue a notice of a decision to issue a permit (giving time for objectors to appeal) or refuse to grant a permit.
A permit can be issued with or without conditions, and a proposal can only begin and continue if all conditions outlined on the permit are met.
