The Planning Decisions Committee is a delegated committee of Council with full authority to make decisions in relation to planning matters. The committee is made up of three Councillors who are rostered on a rotating basis.

Planning Decisions Committee meetings are decision-making forums and only Councillors have a formal role. However, Council is committed to ensuring that both applicants and objectors are able to communicate their views by addressing the Committee before the decision is made.

Watching the meeting

You are welcome to attend the meeting to watch proceedings, and there is no need to register in advance.
