本帖发布于 澳大利亚                Preparing a planning permit applicationStep 1: Find out if a permit is requiredFind out whether a permit is required, what information must be provided with the application, and what relevant policies and provisions council will use to assess it. Different information will need to be provided for different types of permit applications and might include site plans, elevation drawings or a written report. Refer to the checklists provided at step 8.Pre-lodgement certificationYou may consider using the pre-lodgement certification process to achieve a faster processing and decision timeline. Check if the Council offers the service and how you can use it. Essentially the process involves employing a Council agreed certifier to ensure that your application contains all the required information and is of an adequate standard to be lodged with the Council. This avoids delays often associated with incomplete applications. The process may also include conducting meetings with the Council planners and immediate neighbours to the site.Step 2: Fill out the application formIf a permit is required, fill out the application for planning permit form, provide the required information and pay the required fee. All councils use a standard application forplanning permit form. The council’s planning department will give you a copy and help you to complete it. Alternatively, application forms can be obtained at www.dpcd.vic.gov.au/planning. You must lodge the application form at the council offices. You should get a receipt for the fee paid.Make sure you include your current mailing address and telephone number.Step 3: Describe what the permit is forClearly describe what you want a permit for. Make sure you describe all the things that need a planning permit so a further permit won’t be required. Check this with the council planner when lodging the application.Step 4: State the cost of developmentYou must provide an accurate estimate of the cost of the development. This will determine the planning application fee. The fee must be paid when you lodge the application. It is paid to council to consider and assess the application. It is not a fee for approval, so there is no refund if the application is refused. The scale of fees is set down by government regulation.Step 5: Include the owner’s consentIf you are the permit applicant but not the owner of the land, you must provide the owner’s details on the application for planning permit form. This section is used when an agent for the owner makes the application. The applicant must tell the owner that the application has been made.Step 6: Attach title informationA current Certificate of Title must be provided. You must also provide a copy of any registered restrictive covenant that affects the land. If a registered restrictive covenant does apply, talk to the council planner about what to do next.Step 7: Attach the plans and any necessary extra informationIf the appropriate information is not provided, the application won’t be processed. Council must have sufficient information to assess your applicationhttp://www.dpcd.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/41267/Planning_-_a_Short_Guide.pdf
