We assess your application against the policies and guidelines in the Mitchell Planning Scheme and make a recommendation whether or not to issue a planning permit.
Many different types of applications require notification, or advertising to owners or occupiers of adjoining land. For larger applications, advertising may be required to the broader community.
You will be notified throughout the planning process if your application requires advertising and to what extent.
Time taken to decide on an application depends on the size and detail of the proposal.
We are required to make a decision within 60 days of receiving your application. If we require further information, the 60 days starts from the date we receive that information and any advertising requirements are met.
Each application is different and it is a good idea to contact a planner to discuss how long the process is likely to take for your proposal.
