Submissions:

Any person may make a submission in writing to Council. If you have previously made a submission to DA 2025/418, you do not need to lodge an additional submission where your original concerns remain unchanged. However, should the amended plans and supporting documentation give rise to new concerns, or alter the basis of the concerns previously raised, you are invited to make a further submission for Council's consideration. Any further submission should clearly identify the relevant amendments and outline how the amended plans and supporting documentation affect, address, or give rise to concerns raised in your previous submission.

All submissions, including any personal information contained therein, will become publicly available documents and will be made available to the applicant and any other interested members of the public. If you do not wish your submission to be publicly available, you must provide Council with written reasons for this. Alternatively, you may wish to provide an anonymous submission.
