ABOUT THE DUTY PLANNER SERVICE
Council offers a FREE Duty Planner service to help you understand planning controls and the development assessment process. The service runs Monday to Friday, 8:30am – 3:00pm and provides preliminary advice on planning enquiries relating to properties.
Due to high demand, they cannot provide detailed assessments or review full proposals. If you need in-depth advice, you may need to engage a planning consultant or legal practitioner.
Appointments are 15 minutes and can be booked via Council's online booking system.
Appointment Options:
- Over the phone
- In Person - at the Council Administration Building (62 Menangle Street, Picton).
How to Book an Appointment
To access the Duty Planner service you will need to book an appointment through our online booking system.
All appointments are for a maximum of 15 minutes and you will need to answer some standard questions in order for us to ensure that your enquiry is efficiently directed. It's recommended that you book a Pre-Lodgement meeting for any larger scale or more complex proposals prior to submitting your application to Council.
If you need to update your booking details including change appointment date or to cancel, please contact Council on (02) 4677 1100 at least 24 hours prior.
