Statutory planning fees (pdf, 65kb) for planning permit applications, amended plans/ permit, subdivision, certification and other enquiries. Effective 1 August 2009.
Note: The cost of development for a permit application relates to the total estimated cost of the development. For an application to amend a permit the total cost relates to the original cost of development permitted plus the additional costs of development related to the amended application.
The statutory fees listed are from the Planning and Environment (Fees) Regulations 2000 (as amended) and are set by the State Government effective as of 1 August 2009. Non-statutory fees for photocopying, written enquiries, extensions of time, etc. are set by us. GST does not apply to statutory fees but applies to all other fees and is inclusive in the listed fees. Fees (with the exception of exempt applications) must be paid when lodging an application and any application submitted without the prescribed fee will not be registered or considered until we receive payment.
Combined permit applications:
The fee for an application for permit or to amend a permit involving a combination of land use and development (buildings and works) is the sum arrived at by adding the highest fee (which would have applied if separate applications were made) plus 50% of the other lesser fee(s).
