Planning Application Forms and Requests

All planning applications can be lodged through Council's Greenlight Portal. Choose one of the following types of applications or requests. See the Fact Sheets and Checklists page first to make sure you submit all the required information.

A fee is also required for all applications (except for some general enquiries), the Schedule of Fees (1 July 2019 - 30 June 2020)(PDF, 355KB) identifies the fees required for each application type.

If you are using the Greenlight Portal for the first time, you must first complete a short registration process.
