No, although the policy provides City Officers the ability to waive consultation for 'complex applications' this is only for previously advertised and approved applications, that at the discretion of the City, the changes will not adversely impact the amenity of the area.
Your submission on the Local Planning Policy will contribute to how the City consultants on strategic planning documents and development applications.
Once consultation has been finalised the City will review all submissions and recommend any changes deemed appropriate to be included into the amended Policy, which will be reviewed by Council for adoption.
When Council considers the submissions received, it must only consider the planning merits of the submissions made. The City asks that submissions be limited to planning matters or impacts of the Policy.
