Planning Proposals

A Planning Proposal is a document that seeks to amend Council's planning controls.

Such planning controls are contained in our Local Environmental Plan (LEP) which aims to to manage urban growth and the impact of new development. They include matters such as zoning restrictions, heritage controls, height limits and other controls.

The preparation of a Planning Proposal is the first step in the process of amending an LEP.

Council is ultimately responsible for Planning Proposals and must be satisfied with their content. All planning proposals should be prepared in accordance with the NSW Govt Dept of Planning and Environment (DPE) guide: Guide to Preparing Planning Proposals.

If Council is of the opinion that the proposed amendment to the LEP can be supported, the proposal will be forwarded to the DPE for the next step in the process, being a gateway determination. Should gateway determination be issued by the DPE, Planning Proposals are then publicly exhibited to seek community and stakeholder input.

Pre Planning Proposal Meeting (fees apply)

We strongly recommended that a meeting be held with our Strategic Planning staff prior to lodgement of all Planning Proposals.

Such meetings give potential applicants the opportunity to clarify planning issues and processes. The pre-application service is available to ALL applicants and ALL meetings attract a fee (see form below). Similarly, this also applies to pre-DA meetings.

The appropriate staff will attend meetings as required and Minutes of the meeting will be prepared and referred to the applicant. Please contact Council (ph 9936 8100) before lodging your meeting request to determine the appropriate level of service required.

Or search on the number like 'PP 6/17' or '9/2017/6', or street names like 'Walker' or '176 Walker'.

Proposals go through an internal Council assessment process before being referred to the DPE, before public consultation occurs, and for this reason, you may see Planning Proposals in this tracking system that have not yet been notified in your local area.
