A Construction Management Plan (CMP) is required for large or difficult to build developments. You will need to submit a CMP if it is listed as a condition in your Planning Permit.

Why do I need a Construction Management Plan?

Large construction sites can impact on residents and local business. A CMP helps address how works will take place and is assessed to reduce possible impacts.  This document is prepared prior to commencement of any works. 

Important information

Prior to submitting a CMP for assessment, request a meeting using our online portal and an officer will contact you within 2 business days. At this meeting we will discuss the requirements prior to submitting your application.  This will help streamline the application process as well as granting you access to our online submission system (for CMP's).

Once you've had your meeting & received your online account details, you must submit your CMP application online using the below forms and attach the requested documents to each section.  If approved, this will become your endorsed CMP.

Please note that any Construction Management Plan that is lodged for assessment/approval is to be accompanied by one of the following:

• an extract of the executed building contract in relation to the construction of the proposed building, or 
• a statutory declaration from the owner of the land stating that a building contract has been executed in relation to the construction of the proposed building. The statutory declaration must nominate the name of the builder.

Construction Management plans will only be assessed when accompanied by the above documentation

An overview of the CMP process is available to assist you with understanding our requirements.  It explains the process from start to finish and the different permit applications, meetings, site inspections and notifications required.
