The public notification process is not the same for all applications. Some exemptions will apply to certain types of development, including:
- mailed letters to adjoining residences are not required for subdivisions in future urban areas, and
- online notices and signage aren't required for:
- public works in a future urban area
- the building, alteration or demolition of single dwellings
- the demolition of other structures in connection with the buildings or alteration of a single dwelling
- the building, alteration or demolition of a Class 10 building or structure, or
- signage, whether permanent or temporary.
It should be noted that although online notices aren’t always required, the Authority will always publish the information online. This is to be transparent and to provide adjoining neighbours who receive mailed letters a way to access the DA documentation.
