Make a submission to a planning application

Any person who feels they are affected by a proposal can make a submission to a planning permit. 

Submissions relating solely to commercial competition will be rejected by Council. 

Once a submission is received, Council must consider the submission unless it is withdrawn in writing.

Council will make a copy of every submission available for inspection at the Council offices for any person to inspect during office hours. Council cannot make a decision on a planning permit application until 14 days after the giving of the last notice.
