Submissions were open from Saturday 23 November to Sunday 22 December 2019.

Nine land parcels subject to WDCP control E7 (development on land adjoining public open space) were not identified during the public exhibition period so the amendments were exhibited for another 28 days from 15 February to 15 March.

Please note that under the provision of the Government Information Public Access Act, all submissions will be posted on Council’s website under ‘Application Search’ against the Planning Proposal.

Any matters that you raise in a submission will be noted and taken into consideration in the assessment of the proposal, which will be reported to Council in due course.
