Planning Process - Overview

There are several different types of development. 

Before you proceed with any development, whether it be building a new home, renovating your old home, subdividing land, or putting in a swimming pool, you need to know what development category the work you are about to undertake falls into. 

This information will guide you on how to proceed with your development and whether or not the development requires approval from Council.

If your development requires approval from Council you will need to lodge a development application. 

Council and experienced consultants can help you in preparing your application.

You also need to determine whether your development needs other types of approvals.

Please check Council's policies on Building and Development, Design, Subdivision and Contracts and Corporate Services before submitting a development application.
