About this form

ABOUT THIS FORM

This service is provided for more complex, detailed, and/or large scale developments where advice or clarity on requirements is required prior to lodgement of the DA. It is highly recommended that draft plans and/or independent planning advice be sought before a pre-lodgement meeting is requested.

Please note:

  • The views expressed may vary once detailed plans and documentation are submitted and formally assessed, or as a result of issues contained in submissions by other parties; and
  • Amending the request/ proposal will require further assessment.
  • Submission of the pre-lodgement meeting request form and proposed development plans is required a minimum of 10 days prior to the allocated meeting date.

  • Coming to our Raymond Terrace administration building (no appointment necessary) to speak with our duty officer about your proposal
