Application for Development Approval
Please remember to complete and include the applicable planning application checklist with your application package.
All applications must be submitted electronically to admin@mosmanpark.wa.gov.au
-
Certain types of development are exempt from requiring development approval under clause 61 of the Deemed Provisions. These exemptions include the construction of a new single house, or additions and/or alterations to an existing single house that meet all of the applicable ‘deemed-to-comply’ criteria of the R-Codes – Volume 1 and any relevant local planning policy.
The deemed-to-comply check pathway allows people who are intending to build a new single house or extend/alter an existing dwelling to have certainty regarding what approvals are required and, if any major issues are identified with the proposal this allows for an opportunity to revise your plans before lodging a formal application.
Your deemed-to-comply check application can be submitted to the Town by emailing a completed application form (see below) and providing all other required information to admin@mosmanpark.wa.gov.au. A fee of $295 is payable at the time of lodgement.
Upon lodgement of the application, the Town will determine if all necessary information has been provided and if so the Town will contact you for payment and advise that your application has been formally accepted. The Town will provide you with the outcome of your Deemed to Comply Check within 14 days of formally accepting the application. Should the Town require additional information in order to complete a full assessment a Planning Officer will contact you.
