When is a Development Application (DA) Required?

Development Applications (DAs) are necessary when seeking council approval from Georges River Council for various projects, including new homes, dual occupancies, townhouses, secondary dwellings, apartment developments, and commercial or industrial premises, as well as for changing the use of existing commercial properties such as cafes, restaurants, retail shops, or gyms.

To determine whether your proposed development needs a DA, several state and local planning instruments need to be reviewed carefully, including:

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

Georges River Local Environmental Plan 2021

Georges River Development Control Plan 2021

Low Rise Housing Diversity Code (also known as the LMR Policy)*

*which allows for streamlined complying development pathways in certain eligible areas within Georges River.

It is particularly important to confirm if your site is within the nominated catchment areas around key town centres, train stations, or transport hubs like Hurstville and Kogarah, as the LMR policy provides alternative pathways for development approval, potentially bypassing a full DA process if specific criteria are met. Planna offers Preliminary Planning Reports (PPR) to clarify which approval pathway best suits your proposal, detailing zoning requirements, applicable policy frameworks, and the likelihood of obtaining prompt approval.

What you need to know about council approval in Georges River

Georges River Council maintains an efficient assessment process, particularly for well-documented and compliant DAs. After the preliminary planning stage, you'll need a detailed Statement of Environmental Effects (SEE). This document clearly justifies your proposal against all relevant council and state requirements and outlines how your project fits within local planning objectives such as neighbourhood character, environmental management, and residential amenity. If your site is eligible under the LMR Policy, your development may qualify for a streamlined approval process without the need for a full DA. Planna specialises in creating clear and persuasive SEE reports tailored specifically to Georges River Council’s expectations, significantly improving your application's likelihood of prompt approval.

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,

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.
