I wasn't notified of a DA but I want to make a submission

Council’s Community Participation Plan explains how and when we notify the community about development applications and related proposals.

Notification requirements vary depending on several factors, including the type, scale and potential impacts of the proposed development.

  • Smaller-scale developments (such as minor extensions or alterations) are generally notified to the properties immediately surrounding the site.
  • Larger or more complex developments may require notification to a wider area and may also be publicly advertised to ensure the broader community is aware and able to participate.

We understand that being informed about development in your area is important, and we aim to provide clear, timely information so the community can have a meaningful opportunity to comment.

How to make a submission

Submissions can only be accepted during the formal notification period. All submissions must be made through Council’s online submissions portal to ensure they are properly recorded and considered.

You can access the submissions page here: Development related submissions
