Development Applications
The first step in preparing a development application is to find out about Council's development controls, policies and guidelines. You will need to know about:
- Darlington Point & Coleambally Development Control Plan
- Jerilderie Development Control Plan
- Relevant State Environmental Planning Policies (SEPP)
- Murrumbidgee Council Section 94A Plan
- Relevant site development controls and zoning of the property you wish to develop
- Design principles, guidelines and policies
For more information about Planning or a copy of Darlington Point & Coleambally's Development Control Plan or Jerilderie's Development Control Plan please contact one of Council's Environmental Services staff members.
The Council's Environmental Services section are a team of committed professionals with extensive expertise in building regulations and construction, planning and heritage advice. So whether you're planning your dream home, proposing to develop a site, add to a business or subdivide your land, staff at Council can advise you at every stage of your project from design to completion. They can answer most procedural and fee enquiries over the phone, or over the counter if you call in personally. They will then refer you to the appropriate professional officers who can provide detailed advice regarding your development, building regulations and other matters that you will need to consider when preparing your development application.
