FOR YOUR INFORMATION - The following provides an overview of the Public Notification Categories

Public Notification - Category 1, 2 or 3 developments

There are three categories of public notification. Category 1 and Category 2 forms of development are listed in the Development Regulations and may also be listed in individual zones within the Council's Development Plan. If an application is categorised as either a Category 2 or 3 form of development there exists an opportunity to lodge a representation which must be lodged with the appropriate form within the specified time. Representations received after the stipulated deadline are deemed invalid and are not considered by the Council.

Category 1

Category 1 covers 'development' which is exempt from public notification, and usually relates to uses that you would expect within a zone and which are not on a zone boundary where a conflict may arise. Examples might include:

Detached dwellings in residential zones
Development of a specific form which is encouraged within a specific zone (ie shops within a Centre Zone)

Category 2

Category 2 covers 'development' which requires limited public notification to owners or occupiers of land adjacent to a proposal, but does not give a person who lodges a representation a right of appeal against the decision. Examples include:

Development on land which abuts a different zone boundary
Significant trees (if Council is undertaking the development)

Category 3

Category 3 developments are not listed as such - they include those kinds of development not listed as either Category 1 or 2 in Schedule 9 of the Development Regulations 1993. In this case, a public notice is placed in a newspaper and any person can make a representation on the application. Persons who make representations in relation to Category 3 must be heard if they request it as part of the submission. A representation to a Category 3 publicly notified proposal also has an appeal right against the decision.

Appeals

Appeals against decisions on development applications are heard by a specialist Environment, Resources and Development Court (ERD Court¹²).
