Applications on Public Notification

The Planning Act 2016 requires the public to be notified about any impact assessable development applications or an application for a variation request during the assessment process.

The process of public notification allows adjoining or nearby property owners, and others, the opportunity to view the development application, consider the likely impacts the proposal may have on them, and provide comment about the proposal prior to the end of the Submission Close Date.

Applications Available Online

The information provided on this page is made available as a general reference source only. To view these applications and their related documentation, you can visit Applications on Public Notification on ePlanning, Council's online planning portal.

To lodge a submission on any of the applications listed above please open the application by clicking on the application number and select the Make a Submission tab, or alternatively you can print and complete a letter of submission.

In order to be a properly made submission, which allows a right of appeal in the Planning and Environment Court, submissions need to meet the following criteria:

  • The submission must be in writing and, unless provided electronically, be signed by each person making the submission.
  • The names and residential or business addresses of all people making the submission must be stated. One postal or email address for the submission must be provided to allow Council to correspond if necessary.

Submissions Are Not Confidential

Submissions are not confidential. State legislation requires Council to keep copies of submissions available for inspection and purchase by members of the public until such time as the application is finalised. Council is also required to publish the submission on Council's website.

Council has made the decision to continue to publish submissions on Council’s website, even after the application has been finalised. Submissions may also be viewed at a later date as part of a right to information request response.

Names, addresses and email addresses for each submission will be attached to the decision notice for the application. This will be given to the applicant, and published on Council’s website.
