Make an objection or submission to a planning application

Step 1.View the planning application online

Go to view advertised planning applications.

Step 2.Check the due date for submissions

Make sure you lodge your submission by the due date. If you were notified by mail, the date will be on the notice you were sent. You can also go to the advertised application and look for the date on the ‘Notice of an application for planning permit’ in the documents list.

Step 3.Write your submission

Your (individual) submission must state whether you object to or support the proposal and:

• be in writing

A submission made by a group, such as a petition must:

• clearly state how the parties would be affected, and
• nominate one contact person and include their postal address and contact details.
