In some cases, Liverpool Plains Shire Council is required to notify the general public or nearby property owners of a proposed development. 

You may support or object to a development if you are of the opinion that it might affect you.

Before you make a submission, read the information supporting the application and view the plans. Make sure you have a clear understanding of what is being proposed.

Submission requirements

Your submission must outline the reasons why you support or object to the application. The reasons you provide will be carefully considered during assessment of the application. Do not make offensive or defamatory comments.

Group petitions can be submitted, but will not be considered as a submission and will be treated separately. If a petition is submitted, the person who submits it will be the designated point of contact for all future correspondence.

Confidentiality

All submissions must be received by close of business on the last day of the exhibition period, unless otherwise stated. Late submissions are not considered by Council.

Submissions are NOT confidential (excepted for your contact number, email address and signature).

Copies of submissions may also be forwarded to the applicant. They can address the issues raised by way of comments or amendments to the application.

You'll need to advise us within your submission if you wish for any information that may identify you to be withheld from the public.
