A Community Participation Plan determines how we engage with the community on town planning matters, to inform Council’s decision making. This includes how Council notifies neighbours and conducts exhibition periods for proposed development (e.g. Development Applications and rezoning applications).
The document specifies how Council engages with the community on the following:
Strategic Planning Projects: changes to local planning policy, such as the Local Environmental Plan, Development Control Plan, Local Strategic Planning Statements, and other planning strategies (e.g. Local Housing Strategy).
Development Assessment: Development Applications for a various development across the Shire (e.g. housing, industrial buildings, rural activities).
Wollondilly’s Community Participation Plan
Wollondilly’s Community Participation Plan 2020 has been reviewed to ensure alignment with current and best practice. An updated Draft Community Participation Plan 2025 (Draft CPP) has been prepared for public exhibition.
This includes the following changes:
Introduction of a discretionary statement, to enable flexibility in the delivery of the plan
Revised criteria for the notification of planning proposals
Introduced criteria for when preliminary notification of planning proposals should occur
Increased neighbour notification criteria for high impact Development Applications
By post addressed to the Chief Executive Officer, Wollondilly Shire Council, PO Box 21, Picton NSW 2571
In person hand delivered to Council’s Customer Service Centre at 62-64 Menangle Street, Picton.
