It is recommended that prospective applicants have a free pre-lodgement meeting with Council’s Regional Growth and Development staff prior to lodging their application.

Application Fees

Council’s development application fees are set out in Council’s Fees and Charges Schedule.

If you have any questions regarding application fees, please contact Council’s Regional Growth and Development directorate.

Hiring a consultant

While Council will endeavour to provide pertinent advice, this advice does not derogate Council’s responsibility for assessing development applications. For this reason, if you require assistance in making a properly made application, hiring a consultant may be a preferred option.
