The Assessment Process

Step 1:
Your application will be allocated to a Development Officer and be referred, as necessary, to other State Government authorities and to internal specialist staff for their assessment and comments and notification letters sent to nearby neighbours and interested community groups.

Step 2:
Once all information is received through the notification and referral process the assessing officer will compile all information. If information is lacking, you will be sent an additional information letter and the "Stop the Clock" will commence to allow completion of information by you.

Step 3:
If all the relevant information is to hand, the assessing Development Officer will carry out a site inspection, evaluate your proposals compliance with development controls, statutory requirements and any relevant objections and complete a report on the development and make a recommendation.

Step 4:
The application will be determined based on the nature of the development, its compliance with controls, neighbourhood issues and Council's delegation manual.
