On Public Exhibition: Draft Community Participation Plan

No longer on display. Expired on 29 November 2021, 05:00 PM

A Community Participation Plan (CPP) is intended to make it easier for the community to understand how to participate in planning matters in NSW. The requirement to prepare a CPP applies to all relevant planning authorities under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act). 
 
A CPP sets out how and when a planning authority will engage with its community on the planning functions it performs. There are both mandatory and non-mandatory requirements that apply to public exhibition of a development application or plan. 
 
Mandatory requirements legally protect the community’s right to make submissions on planning decisions that affect them.
 
Non-mandatory requirements reflect best practice approaches such that there is an intention to actively involve the community in the planning process.
 
At the October Ordinary Meeting of Council, Council resolved to place the Draft CPP on public exhibition for 28 days. 
 
 
Submissions can be made up until 5:00pm, Monday 29 November 2021.
 
Submissions can be made:
- in writing, addressed to: 
Office of the General Manager, PO Box 106, Uralla NSW 2358 
- by email to council@uralla.nsw.gov.au.
