COLLABORATIVE APPLICATION PREPARATION
The Township offers consultation ahead of application submission, by way of our current CAP (Collaborative Application Preparation) process. This process is intended to create valuable opportunities to discuss matters associated with your proposal. It is designed to ensure the submission of all relevant and required information, and greatly assist the process of review. The CAP process facilitates the various stages of a development application and will better enable Council and commenting agencies to make informed decisions.
The CAP process was designed to support all stakeholders and allow for a seamless review, it is strongly recommended ahead of a formal submission but it is not required.
