Information Sheets
Council's Information Sheets provide information and guidelines for residents on various issues. Some provide additional information concerned with environmental constraints to development, and procedures for applicants to follow if their proposal is affected by such constraints. Others apply to specific places in Coffs Harbour or land uses, while the Energy Efficiency Information Sheet deals with building guidelines promoting sustainability.
The Information Sheets have been converted into PDF files. In order to access these files you must have Acrobat Reader on your computer. If you do not already have Adobe Acrobat you are able to download it now.
If you experience any difficulties downloading these documents please phone Council on (02) 6648 4000.
