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 Rezonings happen through planning scheme amendments under the Planning and Environment Act 1987. The council exhibits the amendment and invites submissions.
2 Make a written submission to the council during the exhibition period, stating whether you support or oppose the amendment and why.
3 If unresolved submissions remain, they are referred to an independent planning panel, where submitters can be heard before the council decides.
