Frequently Asked Questions

Local Planning Policies (LPPs) are used to assist local governments in making planning decisions under the local planning scheme by outlining acceptable development standards and establishing clear expectations to applicants on how local governments are likely to exercise discretion. 

Provisions are development requirements outlined in the LPP.

The City is reviewing its Local Planning Policy 6.3 - Developer Contribution for Public Art and Public Art Spaces to ensure:

• it is consistent with the State Planning Framework 
• it is contemporary, up to date and best placed to support good planning outcomes
• it reflects the aspirations of the community on planning related matters
• it aligns with LPS 7.

The City’s suite of LPPs is available on the City’s website (External link).

The consultation requirements for LPPs are set out in the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015 and the City's Local Planning Policy - Advertising of Planning Proposals. New LPPs and major amendments to existing LPPs are required to be advertised for a minimum of 21 days. Consultation is not required for minor amendments to LPPs or LPPs that are revoked by Council.
