Public Notification

During the notification period, any person other than the applicant or a referral agency may make a submission to the assessment manager about the application.  The Notification period only applies to Impact assessable development applications.

A submission is a written comment about a development application made by any interested member of the community (for example, person, group or organisation) about a development application.  A submission may:

•  object to all or part of the development, and /or
•  support all or part of the application

The assessment manager must accept a submission if the submission is a properly made submission.  In order to be considered a properly made submission, the submission must:

•  be in writing and, unless the submission is made electronically, be signed by each person who made the submission;
•  be received during the notification period;
•  state the name and residential or business address of each person who made the submission;
•  state one postal or electronic address for service relating to the submission for all submission-makers (for applications lodged under the Planning Act 2016);
•  state the grounds of the submission and the facts and circumstances relied on in support of the grounds; and
•  be made to the assessment manager.

By making a properly made submission about an application, a submitter gains the right to appeal to the Planning and Environment Court (the court) about any decision made by the assessment manager about the application.
