Development
Development includes building, renovating, demolishing, subdividing land, or changing the use of a building or land.
If you are developing, you may need to lodge a Development Application (DA) to get approval from Council. As part of the application, process, we will assess the likely impacts of your development and ensure it complies with relevant legislation.
You may also need other approvals for certain parts of your development. These works include:
- installing a solid fuel heating appliance
- new stormwater connection
- driveway crossing
- installing a relocatable home, annexe, or associated structure on a dwelling site in a caravan park.
On this page, you'll find all the information you need to know about the types of development, when you need approval from Council, and the processes involved.
