For residential developments, a Codes Approval Application Form would be lodged to the City for assessing variations to the Residential Design Codes. Any codes approval application is to indicate and justify the proposed variations to the Residential Design Codes.
Why do I need planning approval?
The purpose for applying for planning approval is to ensure that development:
- is an appropriate use on the property according to its zoning;
- has no detrimental impact upon a locality; and
- has no adverse impact upon other landowners and occupants of adjacent properties.
