Public Notification

Council will notify only certain types of planning and development applications (DAs) which are identified in DCP Volume 1 - Part 4 - Community Engagement in Council’s Development Control Plan. There are a broad range of applications that are not required to be notified that are detailed in this plan as well.

The type of public notification will vary based upon the type of application being proposed and may include any one or combination of the following:

• giving a notice to the owners and occupiers of all adjoining land in the form of a letter;
• publishing a notice in a local newspaper (e.g. Wollondilly Advertiser);
• on Council's website DA Tracker.

Applications are normally open for submissions for 7, 14 or 28 days. Longer submission periods exist for certain development types such as some Integrated and Designated Development. The exact time frame will be noted on any letter, notice or sign in regard to the notification of an application.

Documents lodged with the application can be viewed, subject to privacy requirements on Council's DA tracker on the website or on a computer at Council’s Administration Building - 62-64 Menangle Street, Picton - during business hours 8:30am – 5:00pm (Public Holidays excepted).

Further information can be found here Community Participation Plan.

Please note, proposals that are categorised as either Exempt or Complying Development have different requirements for notification which is listed in the relevant SEPP.
