NEW STATEWIDE COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION PLAN 🤝

A new Statewide Community Participation Plan (CPP) commenced on 1 September 2026, setting a consistent approach to community engagement on planning-related decisions across NSW.

The plan expands the types of lower-impact development that are excluded from public notification and exhibition, meaning fewer Development Applications will be exhibited by Council.

There is no change to Council’s Community Engagement Strategy 2025.

The new CPP is available on Council’s website 👇
