The application and any accompanying documents or plans may be inspected during business hours (8.30am - 4.30pm, Monday-Friday) at the Council's Corporate Centre located at 43 Oliver Avenue, Goonellabah, or at any time via Council’s DA Online tracking facility accessible on Council’s website using reference no. 2024 /183 until the closing date 30 September 2024.

If you wish, you may make a submission to the Council in relation to the development application. Council has implemented a DA Online tracking facility on Council’s website to make application information more readily available to the community to assist in reviewing development proposals that may affect surrounding residents. As part of this DA Online facility, Council also publishes submissions that are lodged regarding development proposals.

Submissions can be made online via the submission form below, or sent to the General Manager by e-mail to council@lismore.nsw.gov.au or posted to PO Box 23A, Lismore NSW 2480. Your submission must be received by 4.30pm on the final day of exhibition. If you wish to object to the development the grounds of objection must be specified in the submission, and if possible, include details of how any concerns may be overcome.

Council will consider each submission on its merits as they relate to the development proposal as part of the assessment process, in conjunction with a range of legislation and other matters which Council must also take into consideration in making its decision.

If you wish to make a submission on this matter (either objecting or supporting) you are required by the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979, to disclose any reportable political donations or gifts made to a Councillor or Council employee that were made within the period commencing two (2) years before the application was made. This includes any donation or gift made when a person was a candidate for Council election. The disclosure reporting form is available on the Department of Planning website (www.planning.nsw.gov.au) or from Council’s Offices. If you have made any such donations or gifts the completed form must accompany your submission.

All submissions, including any personal information contained therein, will become publicly available documents and will be made available on Council’s website, in accordance with the provisions of the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009.

The Council will consider the development application after the closing date specified, which will include assessment and reporting of the application for final determination. Submissions received after the closing date will still be considered in the assessment, unless the submission is received after the application has been determined. Therefore, it is not necessary to ask for a formal extension of the closing date if you require further time to prepare a submission, but you should be aware that any such delay may result in the application being determined prior to receipt of your submission.

Should you have any further enquiries regarding this matter, please contact the Partnerships Planning and Engagement Directorate on phone: 02 6625 0500.

Submission closes 4.30pm on 30 September 2024.
