On Wednesday 9 August 2023, the State Government deferred the implementation of the amended State Planning Policy 7.3 – Residential Design Codes (R-Codes). The amendments were to introduce design requirements for medium density areas. All applications will continue to be assessed against the current R-Codes and relevant local planning documents.
Further information is available on the City’s webpage.
Note: All development (planning) applications will now require a Certificate of Title to be provided with the documentation. In addition, any development with an estimated cost over $50,000 in value will require digitally drawn plans to be provided. Hand drawn plans will not be accepted and cause the application to be returned.
