Pre-lodgement meeting

Pre-lodgement meeting request

Council offers a prelodgement meeting service to identify potential issues for a development proposal.

The intent of this service is to confirm the resolution of any issues prior to lodgement of a development application. Pre-lodgement meetings result in a speedier assessment process.

A pre-lodgement meeting has mandatory documents required to be provided in order to be validated as a pre-lodgement meeting. Pre-lodgement requests may be refused where information is insufficient, unsuitable or where specific issues have not been identified on the form.
