The minimum public notification period is the timeframe a DA can receive comment.

  • A DA for a significant development: 2-stage public notification of 20 working days, followed by a second 10 working day period.
  • Any other DA: the public notification period is 15 working days.

The Authority may also extend the public notification period in some instances. This may occur if there was an in error in the initial notification process or if the application is likely to be of significant interest to the community.
