Public Availability Requirements

It is important to note that under the Planning and Environment Act 1987 submissions to planning scheme amendments are subject to public availability requirements.

The public availability requirements require Council to make copies of submissions available to view in person, or make copies available electronically and for on demand viewing in person, up until the end of two months after the amendment comes into operation or lapses.
