If you are unhappy with the determination of your Development Application (DA), you may request that Council review the determination under Section 82A of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, provided that the proposal was not:
- a complying development
- a designated development
- an integrated development
- a Crown development
Reviews may make changes to developments which do not make the development substantially different from what was approved or refused. A review is appropriate where you want the determination in its totality reviewed.
It is important to remember that:
- a request for a review must be made within 12 months of the determination
- a request cannot be made after an appeal against the determination made to the Land and Environment Court has been disposed of by the Court
As a consequence of its review Council may confirm or change the determination. The fee prescribed by Council’s Schedule of Fees and Charges must be paid in connection with a request for a review.
