By Elke Blake

Please note that correspondence submitted to Council on this matter may be open for public inspection without notifying the correspondent. Pre-printed form letters, which have been individually signed, will be considered but not formally acknowledged.

Submissions may become public documents and may be viewed by other persons on request. All persons who lodge a submission are required to declare any relevant political donations and/or gifts in accordance with Section 147(5) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Action 1979.

 What happens next?

Following the exhibition period, Council’s Strategic Planning and Infrastructure Group reviews all submissions and reports these to Council. Once Council has considered the submissions, the draft LEP is adopted and submitted to the Department of Planning & Infrastructure for finalisation and commencement.
