Having your say
You are encouraged to let Council know if you think that a proposed development will affect your enjoyment or amenity. However, you do not have to make a submission.
Submissions may object to an application or support approval of an application.
Submissions are not limited to land owners. As a tenant you may lodge submissions.
Submissions must:
- Be in writing (email and/or fax is fine).
- Quote in the subject heading the application number, the address of the site and the assessment officer's name.
- Contain your name, address, contact phone number.
- Clearly state the impacts that the proposal will have upon the amenity of your property or residence, preferably in point form. Where possible make positive suggestions as to how the development could be improved.
- Be relevant (civil disputes between neighbours or private rights such as covenants cannot be considered).
- Be with Council before 5:00pm on the closing date for submission (allow for postage delays).
For more information on making a submission refer to Council's Fact Sheet:
