Development Application – Public Notification
Public notification is required for certain development applications to ensure that the public is aware of the development and they have the opportunity to make submissions about it. A properly made submission will secure for the submitter the right to appeal to the Planning and Environment Court about the assessment manager’s decision. Public notification is only required for an application for a: · development that requires impact assessment · preliminary approval that affects a planning scheme.
The Sustainable Planning Act 2009 provides information on how the forms are to be placed on land, in newspapers and provided to adjoining landholders. To satisfy the requirements of the legislation, public notification must involve each of the following; · A notice must be published in a newspaper circulating in the locality of the subject land. It is recommended that the newspaper selected is relevant to the application in terms of its distribution and target reader. · A notice must be placed on the subject land. · A notice must be given to the owners of all land adjoining the subject land.
The purpose of public notification processes is to inform the community and relevant stakeholders of the proposal and to give them the opportunity to: · make submissions, including objections that must be taken into account before the application is decided · secure, for those that make a properly made submission, the right to appeal to the court about the assessment manager’s decision if they disagree with part or all of the decision.
