Exemption Certificates
In accordance with the Planning Act 2016 certain development applications are required to go through a period of public notification.
Public notification informs the community of the proposal and provides the community with an opportunity to make submissions that must be taken into account before the development application is decided.
During the public notification period, the community can make submissions about a development application to the assessment manager, who will consider these when making their decision. The submissions must be ‘properly made’, which means they must be in writing, on topic, signed and submitted by the due date. A fact sheet on how to make a Properly made submission can be found below.
