FAQs

Any person may make a submission:

• In writing via email or letter; or
• Verbally via interview or group discussion.

Submissions in Writing: Must include the submitter's name and contact address, clearly stating support or opposition and indicating what changes (if any) the submitter proposes.

Verbal Submissions: May be made via a discussion with a Council officer by appointment. Notes taken during the discussion will be agreed by the submitter and their contact details included. To make an appointment to discuss the Plan, please call Vicki Bradley, Social Planning Officer on 5662 9200.

These details are used for Council to consider submissions and to notify you of the opportunity to attend Council Meetings and any public meetings held to consider the submissions. Council must make available for inspection a copy of any submissions made.

A submission is a public document and copies may be made available to other parties. However, Council will use or disclose personal information that we collect from you only:

• For the primary purpose for which it was collected; and
• For uses required or authorised by law.

Once submissions are received, the document is reviewed to consider the submissions and a final document is prepared.

The final document is presented to Council, who may approve it and adopt it, or recommend that further investigation be completed.

Once the document is finalised and adopted, it is made available on Council's website for use by Council or the community for planning, discussions with developers or to support grant applications.
