If you require Council's planning advice in writing, you can request formal written planning advice for the applicable fee.
This service is appropriate if you need:
- planning advice provided on Council letterhead
- a written response for your records
- written confirmation of the planning controls affecting a property
- Council's written opinion on whether a planning permit is likely to be required for a specific proposal.
Your written advice will generally include:
- relevant planning zones and overlays
- applicable planning controls and provisions
- an assessment of whether a planning permit is likely to be required
- any other planning matters relevant to your proposal.
Please note that written planning advice is based on the information provided at the time of the request and does not constitute a planning permit or guarantee that a future planning permit application will be supported or approved.
