PLANNING PROCESS
A swift and reliable planning process
The stages of a typical planning application are:
1 Pre-lodgement
Getting all the plans and documentation ready to submit to Council.
2 Initial assessment
After the application is lodged the Council will conduct an initial assessment and request any further information.
3 Advertising
The Council will share details of the application to anyone that could be impacted to seek any submissions from them.
4 Final assessment
After advertising the Council will do a detailed report to make their decision on the application.
5 Council decision
Once the decision is made the Council will inform you of the outcome.
6 Endorsement
If a planning permit is approved, the plans will also need to be approved, which is called endorsement.
