Before you submit a planning permit application, it is recommend that you go over your application by using one of Council's checklists.
The checklists allows you to determine if you have provided the correct information. However, they are only a general guide. We may request further information once your application is received. We may send an ‘Insufficient Information’ letter or a ‘Further Information’ request.
Apply for a Permit
Applications for a planning permit can be lodged by mail or directly at any of our Customer Service Centres. Applications for Subdivisions can now be accepted via SPEAR. SPEAR Subdivisions manages applications on-line including lodgement, requests for further information, referrals, advertising, approvals and tracking of applications.
To submit an application, the relevant application form must be completed:
Planning permit application form
Application to amend a planning permit
Request to amend an application form for a planning permit
Extension of time application
Objection to the grant of a planning permit
What fee do I need to pay?
The fees are outlined under the Planning and Environment (Fees) (Amendment) Regulations 2009 and are correct as of 1 July 2012.
All fees must be paid at time of lodging any application or request. Applications submitted without the correct fee will be returned.

Other documentation
Attach title information
You must provide a current Certificate of Title or Title Search (which is no older than 30 days) . You must also provide a copy of any registered restrictive covenants that affect the land. If a registered restrictive covenant does apply, talk to a planning officer about what to do next.
It may also be a good idea to include a cover letter, explaining what you propose to do in a little more detail. If you are unsure as to what other documentation may be required, access the checklists above or contact Council’s Statutory Planning Team.
How to Submit
Planning permit applications can be lodged in person, online through SPEAR Planning or by mail.
To lodge a planning permit application in person, please submit all required documentation and pay the appropriate fee at one of Council’s Service Centres.
