When is a Development Application (DA) Required?

A Development Application (DA) to Central Coast Council is required for developments such as new homes, dual occupancies, secondary dwellings (granny flats), townhouses, apartments, commercial and industrial developments, and for changes of commercial use, including cafes, restaurants, gyms, and retail shops. Central Coast Council was formed through the amalgamation of the former Gosford City Council and Wyong Shire Council. As a result, developments must consider multiple local planning instruments, including:

State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008

Central Coast Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2022
Gosford Local Environmental Plan 2014 (still applicable in former Gosford areas)
Wyong Local Environmental Plan 2013 (still applicable in former Wyong areas)
Central Coast Development Control Plan (DCP) 2022- Gosford Development Control Plan 2013 (for Gosford region areas)
Wyong Development Control Plan 2013 (for Wyong region areas)

Additionally, certain residential developments close to nominated town centres and key transport hubs such as Gosford, Woy Woy, Wyong, and Tuggerah may qualify for streamlined approval pathways under the Low Rise Housing Diversity Code (LMR Policy). Planna’s Preliminary Planning Report (PPR) clearly identifies the appropriate approval pathway, addresses relevant local planning controls, and evaluates the feasibility and likelihood of securing council approval for your specific site.

What you need to know about council approval in Central Coast

Central Coast Council’s development approval process requires tailored documentation due to the diverse range of environments and planning requirements across its amalgamated regions. After completing your preliminary assessment (PPR), you will require a comprehensive Statement of Environmental Effects (SEE). The SEE demonstrates compliance with local planning policies, thoroughly addressing neighbourhood character, environmental sensitivity, landscaping, setbacks, parking, and other critical local factors. Planna specialises in preparing detailed and site-specific SEE reports that precisely respond to Central Coast Council’s diverse planning framework. Our expert documentation ensures a smoother and quicker approval process, maximising your project's potential for successful outcomes.

A message from Planna

You're not alone,

We were frustrated with the standard town planning approach: waiting months for reports and spending thousands of dollars. Town Planners charging for admin when you only really need the core reports for a Development Application. Whether it’s a renovation, changing the use of your business, or a tricky development, you might be asking:

- Do I have to wait 6-12 weeks for a town planner?
- How do I meet all of the compliance requirements?
- How can I maximise my outcomes?
- How can I increase my chances of approval? 

With our proven method, you can submit your Development Application in days, not weeks. And if council isn't happy with your Planna Report (unlikely), we will give you a full refund.

Sincerely,

Frequently asked questions
How fast can I get my approval?

With Planna, you can get your Development Application package ready for submission within 24 hours; council assessment times vary.

Why not use a traditional town planning firm?

Planna is on average 80% cheaper than traditional town planners, with the same outcome. Most firms will charge you thousands for admin, when you really only need the core deliverables.

What are the chances of approval?

With a 98% approval rate, we ensure your reports will meet all council requirements. If the council does request additional information, we can easily update this through the dashboard.

What if I need more hands-on support?

Our team of expert planners and ex council officers are on hand to provide support, justifications and report reviews throughout the process.

We used Planna for our renovation. It was cheaper and faster than traditional firms. Highly recommended for any project.
