How to object or make a submission

Your next step if this rezoning affects you. Submissions are how the decision-maker hears from the community.

1. 1 Rezonings (planning proposals) are placed on public exhibition by the council or the NSW Department of Planning. Anyone can make a submission during that window.
2. 2 Lodge your submission with the council, or through the NSW Planning Portal where the proposal is exhibited there. State your address, whether you support or object, and your reasons.
3. 3 Submissions are public and are reported to the decision-maker. Focus on planning grounds: amenity, traffic, overshadowing, density, heritage and local character.
