FAQs

Only submissions that relate to relevant planning matters can be considered as part of the assessment of the development application. Please ensure your comments relate to specific elements of the application and how these may impact either your own property or amenity (eg odour, dust, noise). You may attach additional information (plans, diagrams, photographs, etc.) as required. 

We cannot consider feedback that relates to non-planning matters including:

• Perceived loss of property value;
• Perceived anti-social behaviour;
• Potential residents or tenants;
• Private disputes between neighbours including access and egress and easements;
• Dividing fence issues;
• Matters that are usually dealt with by the building permit process;
• Impact of construction work;
• Trade competition concerns (in most circumstances);
• Personal morals or views about the applicant or City officers dealing with the application;
• Matters that are controlled under other legislation.

The City will be collating feedback collected during the community consultation period. All submission received will be passed to the State Government for their consideration during the development assessment process. 

The City, the State Government and applicants have a right to review any submission you make.  

 If you would like your details to remain confidential, you will need to note this in your submission. Your name and address will be suppressed, however your comments will still be made available to the State Government
