Application fee
The FastTrack application fee is the same as the standard fee at the time you lodge an application.
Refer to the current Planning and Development Group Register of Cost Recovery Fees and Charges to determine the applicable fee.
We will send you a ‘request for payment’ letter when you lodge the application. This will confirm the fees and include our payment options.
If your application is eligible for FastTrack, we’ll rebate 15% of the application fee once we decide on the outcome.
We may also apply infrastructure charges.
Assessment
We’ll allocate an assessing officer to your FastTrack application. They’ll get in touch, generally within two business days of lodging, to give you their name and contact details. They will be your single point of contact.
The assessing officer may need to refer a FastTrack application to specialist Council officers.

We apply condition sets that ensure that any development permits we issue:
- make obligations clear
- use concise language
- contain consistent referencing to approved plans and documents
- have consistent headings and formatting
- are consistent across the Region
- are responsive to the needs of the development.
The assessing officer’s report will include any conditions.
