We recommend contacting us to discuss your plans before lodging a DA.
Our officers can explain Council's development and building process to you, including required documentation, forms and fees.
This advice is generally for smaller scale residential, commercial and industrial developments (such as building a new home, making renovations or remodelling a shop or cafe).
The more information you provide (such as plans and photos) the better we can assist you.
Talk to Council's team to find out about:
- assessing development applications
- strata certificate applications
- searches for dwelling house entitlements and past development consents
- processing certificates (such as Section 10.7)
- monitoring compliance with development consent conditions

Development assessment panel
Pre lodgement enquiries for larger, more complex developments
For larger, more complex developments we strongly recommend using Council’s Development Assessment Panel. This service provides more detailed technical advice before you lodge your Development Application.
Our panel of planning, building, engineering and environmental officers will advise whether your proposal is generally permissible, and will identify key town planning, building or engineering issues you need to address.
See Development assessment panel fact sheet(PDF, 476KB)
To make an appointment, speak with the Chairperson of the panel by calling 02 6670 2400.
Once your appointment is confirmed, complete the Development assessment panel meeting form(PDF, 564KB). The fee must be paid before you meet with the panel.
