Planning Forms, Checklist and Fees
Fees for Planning Permits and other Planning Services
Fees are to be paid at the time of lodging your application and are not refundable if your application is not supported. The application fees are determined by either the cost of the development (indicated on the application form) or the use of the land.
Additional administration fees are applicable for advertising an application and for further approvals following the issue of a permit (i.e. amended plans).
Please note, due to a change in Council Policy, Council can no longer accept credit card details on forms. We encourage you to submit your application through Councils portal, where payment can be made at the time of lodgement. If you require a hard copy application form, please contact Planning Support.
