What this application covers

An application for written planning advice covers any requests for written advice on specific planning related matters (includes current/previous land use information and planning letters for Motor Vehicle Repair businesses).

If an enquiry cannot be responded to within the scope of written planning advice, the City will inform you of alternatives to assist you in obtaining the information you require.

If we identify that your request is not about town planning matters, we will redirect it to the appropriate part of the City for a response and the application fee will be refunded.
