Do I Need Approval

Not all development requires approval of a development application (DA). Whether you need to lodge a DA or are able to undertake the development as Exempt or Complying, depends on the type and scale of development you are proposing.

Types of Approval

Before you undertake any development or building works, you will need to determine what approvals are required.

Preparing an Application

When preparing a development application, it is recommended that you review Council's Landuse Planning documents. These documents provide detailed planning and guidance for new development and provide the basis for development assessment.
