What is a Community Participation Plan?

    A CPP is a single document that provides the community with details on how and when Council both notifies and publicly exhibits planning matters. Planning matters include:

    - Strategic plan making functions such as planning proposals, local strategic planning statements, local environment plans, development control plans and contributions plans: and

    - Statutory Planning such as assessment of development applications (DAs).

    What’s in a CPP?

    The draft CPP provides timeframes for notification and public exhibition of strategic and statutory planning matters. The draft CPP consolidates information that is currently located in: 
    -  Schedule 1 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 
    -  Wollondilly Development Control Plan 2016 
    -  Council’s Strategic Planning – Planning Proposal Policy CP0038 

    The benefit of a CPP is that all requirements relating to community engagement -- the notification and public exhibition of planning matters -- are located in one document.
