Development Assessment Panels

Development Assessment Panels are a wholly-independent planning assessment pathway that combines technical expertise and local knowledge when considering development applications.

Each DAP has five (5) members consisting of three (3) specialist members and two (2) Local Government Councillors. A DAP is considered to provide a balance between experts and local knowledge in the decision making process whilst providing transparency, consistency and reliability to the development application process. The Town of Mosman Park is located within the boundary that is subject to the designated Metro Inner DAP.

Application Types
Prior to the 1st March 2024, applications could be ‘Mandatory’ if they met certain thresholds, or ‘Opt-In’ outside of those thresholds. Following a suite of changes made to the DAP system on 1st March 2024, there is no longer a requirement for a mandatory assessment of a proposal via the DAP pathway. Instead, an applicant may choose to have the DAP determine an application provided it meets the following requirements:

  • The proposal has an estimated cost of $2 million or more; or
  • Contains, in some form, community housing that is to be provided by a registered community housing provider.

The intent of this process is to make the DAP a fully voluntary application pathway for someone to consider. However, certain types of development are not permitted to be considered by the DAP. These are applications for:

  • a single house and any associated carport, patio, outbuilding and incidental development; or
  • development in an improvement scheme area; or
  • a public work (for example, the installation of a playground by the Town within a park); or
  • development located within an area identified as a regional reserve under state legislation.

Lodging a DAP Application
A standard application for planning approval must be submitted to the Town, along with a DAP application form. The Town carries out the preliminary assessment of the application, which may include referring the application to other relevant bodies, advertising the application, reviewing submissions and preparing the Responsible Authority Report (RAR) with a recommendation for the DAP. The DAP takes the recommendation from the Town into account when determining the application. For further information on Town of Mosman Park development application requirements, please click here.
