Application Forms

This Requirements & Checklist form is to accompany the Development Application on which you will have recorded most details related to the application (e.g. lease, lessee, etc).

The purpose of the Requirements & Checklist form is to accommodate further questions, requirements and advice specific to Estate Development Plans.

Please note, if complete and accurate details and information are not provided, additional information may be sought, the application may be subject to delay and/or the application may be rejected as incomplete.

Pre-application referrals

Before lodging an Estate Development Plan Development Application you must have completed the pre-application referral/circulation process conducted by The Planning and Land Authority Deed Management Unit.
(Phone: 6207 1668)

Deed Management will circulate the proposal to all relevant Government and non-Government Agencies for their comment and coordinate responses back to you. The proposal may require a number of such circulations before it is deemed to have satisfied the pre-application process.

Your application will not be accepted if it has not completed the pre-application process to the satisfaction of the Deed/Estate Manager.

Application Fee

You will be required to pay the scheduled fee for an Estate Development Plan Development Application at the time of lodgement.

Please note the application fee does not cover any costs other than the internal, administrative processing of the application by The Planning and Land Authority.
