Frequently Asked Questions
What information is needed for a development application?
A development application usually requires plans, reports and supporting documentation. This may include site plans, elevations, planning reports, traffic or environmental studies and servicing information. The level of detail depends on the development type. Accurate documentation helps councils assess compliance with planning schemes and reduces delays during assessment.
Who assesses a development application?
Development applications are assessed by local councils or planning authorities. Assessment officers review proposals against planning schemes, state legislation and relevant policies. Some applications may also be referred to state agencies or specialist departments for input, particularly where environmental, infrastructure or community impacts are involved.
What is the difference between code assessable and impact assessable development?
Code assessable development is assessed against set planning standards and usually does not involve public notification. Impact assessable development requires a broader assessment and includes public notification, allowing submissions from the community. Impact assessment considers wider impacts on the area, including amenity, traffic and environmental factors.
