Development Permits

Development Permits

A Development Permit is required to guide the design, form, character, and environmental impact of a project. Several areas within the City are designated Development Permit Areas. In these areas, a Development Permit must be obtained before proceeding with new development. 

Development Permit Areas apply to properties:

  • located in close proximity to a stream or creek
  • With an Accessory Coach House
  • Located in the ‘Moodyville’ precinct, 'Harbourside Waterfront' precinct, 'Harry Jerome Neighbourhood Lands’ precinct, and the 'Shipyards' precinct
