Planning Proposal: Raffertys Resort

FAQs

A planning proposal is a document and supporting information that explains the intended effect and justification of a proposed amendment to a Local Environmental Plan.

Local Environmental Plans guide planning decisions for local government areas through zoning and development controls.

A landowner, developer or an individual seeking to amend the zoning or development standards that apply to land they own, or have an interest in, may initiate a planning proposal.

Council support of the planning proposal is required before it is able to be submitted to the Department of Planning and Environment for Gateway Determination.

If the Department issues a Gateway Determination, a proposal proceeds to community consultation and any submissions are considered before making amendments to the planning controls.
