The Development & Planning Approval System
Information on development requirements.
Virtually all development requires consent and intending builders should contact Council planning staff to ensure that they are operating within the legislative requirements. Approvals ensure sound development is achieved without adverse impacts on the environment and the community. You must obtain development consent from Council for any development proposed to be carried out. Development means:
- the use of land or a building
- the erection of a building
- the subdivision of land
- the carrying out of a work
- the demolition of a building
Cabonne Council assesses applications for development consent on merit, against criteria set out in the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and Council's plans and policies. Staff in our Environmental Services Department will provide assistance to anyone contemplating carrying out development. Some developments will be placed on exhbition for public comment before a decision is made.
