Request planning advice
We can provide you planning advice in writing on a specific planning matter for a $214.20 fee. This does not include legal advice.
This can include:
- a written response stating whether a planning permit is required for a proposed development and/or use.
- planning advice in writing and responses to other planning enquiries, such as requests to build outside of a building envelope.
- a response to a request to amend or end a Section 173 Agreement.
Request planning permit documents
If you cannot find the information via other sources, you can request copies for a $348.10 fee.
We can provide:
- the permit
- endorsed plans
- officer report for a use or development of land.
We cannot guarantee we have permits and determined plans prior to 1994. If we cannot locate your permits or plans, your fee will be refunded in full.
Each request is for one property only. If you require multiple properties, there will be additional charges.
