Development advice and community input are supported through pre-lodgement meetings, planning consultations, and public notification processes that invite feedback on proposed developments.
Development applications must follow a clear process that includes seeking advice, preparing required documents, lodging through the council portal, and complying with assessment and approval conditions.
Building approvals and inspections ensure construction meets safety, structural, and planning standards, requiring certified plans, staged inspections, and final certification before occupancy.
Development fees cover the cost of assessing applications, inspections, and compliance checks, and vary depending on the type, scale, and complexity of the proposed development.
Plumbing and development work must comply with regulations requiring approved plans, licensed contractors, and inspections to ensure water, sewerage, and drainage systems meet safety and environmental standards.
