Development Assessment Processes

Most types of building, subdivision and demolition work requires a Development Application (DA) to be submitted to Council for approval.The following information provides a brief outline of the Development Process.

When Is a Development Application Required? - Published: 11 Jul 2006
Before you make any changes to a building or occupy premises, you need to check with Council whether the proposal is "Development" and requires the consent of Council. Some minor works called "Exempt Development" may not require approval provided it meets certain criteria included in the State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008. Development not covered by the SEPP (Exempt and Complying Development) 2008 will be subject to the criteria in Parkes Shire Council's Exempt Development Control Plan 1998. All other development requires the submission of a Development Application with the consent authority. more ..

The Applicant needs to provide detailed designs and documentation with their application for a construction certificate. This detail must be consistent with the plans lodged with the DA and it must be clear that any building work will comply with the Building Code of Australia. more ..
