Changing the use of a land or building

Do I need a planning permit to change the use of my land?

A planning permit is generally required for a change of use application.

What are the fees for associated with lodging an application to change the use of my land?

Refer to Class 1 of the fee schedule on Council’s website for the applicable fee.

If development (buildings and works) is also proposed, the fee will consider this too.
