When you submit a planning permit application, we require copies of certain plans to help us assess your application. The more information you can provide, the faster we can process your application.

Plans

• Three (3) copies each of the site plans, floor plans, and elevation plans (at a scale of 1:100 or 1:200). These are especially required for applications requiring building works approval
• One set of full plans printed on A3 paper must be supplied when lodging plans with your application.

Site Plans

A site plan is a bird's-eye view which shows your existing and proposed development, and the position to boundaries and neighbouring developments.

It should show all structures on the proposed site, and any other features such as vegetation, car parks, driveways, and crossovers. Information on the length of boundaries and walls, site levels, the distance between existing and proposed buildings and the property's boundaries and adjoining walls should also be provided. The plans should distinguish clearly between existing and the proposed structures and features.

A short written summary should be provided, detailing the site coverage, floor area, number of parking spaces, area proposed for landscaping and any other relevant details.

Floor Plans

A floor plan is a bird's-eye view of the existing and proposed structures in your development. It should show the layout of the building, its relationship to existing buildings, the location and dimension of walls, windows and doors, and the use of each room and area within the building.

Elevation Plans

Elevation plans are side-on views of your proposed development. Elevations of all four sides (north, south, east, west) should accompany your application.

The plans should show:

• details of construction materials
• the height and length of walls
• the dimensions of windows and their height above ground level
