Planning and Development

We hold periodic Development Industry Forums to a diverse network of industry representatives.

This facilitates open discussions between development industry representatives and Council. Different topics are presented at each forum to raise awareness of local development and construction matters, and to help the industry say informed of legislative requirements.

If you’re interested in attending the next industry forum, or would like to submit a relevant topic for discussion, please contact Council's Manager Development Approvals by phoning (02) 6767 5507.

Under the TRLEP 2010, Council is allowed some flexibility when applying planning controls to certain developments. We maintain a register of these variations that are submitted quarterly to the Department of Planning.

While these developments may not meet certain development standards, they are achieving strict planning objectives set by Council.

The register of variations to development standards is available below:
