Consultation has concluded

At the Council meeting held on Wednesday 23 September in Guyra the Draft Acceptance and Assessment of Applications Policy was endorsed for Public Exhibition for 28 days.

The draft Acceptance and Assessment of Applications Policy aims to:

  • Detail the expectations of the Minister of Planning in relation to the lodgement of all applications via the NSW Planning Portal.
  • Ensure applicants understand, in the interest of faster processing time, Council will be utilising the review functionality available via the NSW Planning Portal and only accepting applications that have provided the required information for lodgement and assessment listed under Schedule 1 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulations 2000.
  • Provide applicants with guidance on how Council deals with amended plans and the requests for additional information.

The Draft Acceptance and Assessment of Applications Policy will be on public exhibition from Monday 28 September 2020 to Monday 26 October 2020 online and in hard copy at Council customer service areas.

Submissions are invited and must be addressed to the Acting General Manager, Armidale Regional Council, PO Box 75A, Armidale, NSW 2350, or sent by email to council@armidale.nsw.gov.au

Submissions must be received by Council no later than 5.00 pm on Monday 26 October 2020.

Please be aware that if you make a submission, other people may have access to your comments. This may be as a result of a report to a Council meeting or as part of an application under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009. Also, under State legislation, any person making a submission on a Draft LEP amendment must also disclose whether they or an ‘associate’ have made a ‘reportable political donation’ or gift to a local Councillor or Council employee within the period commencing two years before any submission is made and ending when the Draft LEP is determined. Further details including disclosure forms are available on request from Council.
