Development Consent - Bland Shire Council - New South Wales

Description

If you intend to build or renovate a property, you may need Development Consent from the relevant authority.

If your development is approved under a Development Application, you will need a Construction Certificate before starting your development work. Once the work is complete, the council will inspect the development to ensure it has met the agreed guidelines and issue an Occupation Certificate.

It is recommended that you contact your council for a pre-lodgement discussion to determine whether your development plans will need to meet any further conditions. For example, a local environmental plan (LEP) or State environmental planning policy (SEPP).

Please note that some developments are classified as Complying Development, which means they follow a faster approval process and do not require development consent.

Service type

Licence

A licence defines the need to obtain recognition / certification and registration to undertake a certain business activity.

Eligibility requirements

To be eligible, you must provide details such as the exact location of the proposed development, building height, access driveways, emergency evacuation plans, floor space ratios and noise management plans.

If your proposal relates to a residential dwelling you will need to submit a Building Sustainability Index Certificate (BASIX) with your proposal. BASIX is a web-based planning tool designed to incorporate a range of environmentally sustainable features into your development project. If your development application relates to residential apartment development you may require a statement by a qualified designer.

If your proposal involves the installation, extension, or modification of any fire safety systems, then you will be required to submit plans detailing the fire safety systems that are part of the development.

If the application relates to Designated Development, an Environmental Impact Statement is required. Designated Development refers to developments which are high impact developments or which are located in or near an environmentally sensitive area. Designated Development does not include State significant development.

Please be aware that if your proposed development is in bush fire prone land, you may require a bushfire attack level (BAL) risk assessment. Please contact your local rural fire service for details.

The Council may also impose specific conditions on individual Development Consents and Complying Development Certificates.

Please consult the Contact Officer for more information regarding eligibility requirements.
