New Digital Building Consent System/Portal
Council is preparing to move to a new digital building consenting platform during the 2025-2026 financial year. The fee schedule may be updated to reflect changes associated with the new system. While we currently expect any adjustments to apply only to digital lodgement fees, Council may revise other fees if necessary.
