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.
