A neighbour is proposing to complete a building project. What should I do?
Most building projects require approval from Council and your neighbour will need to make an application to Council for their project. Council in turn will notify all neighbours of the proposal and invite comments. We recommend that stewards of property appoint a consulting town planner to prepare a submission on their behalf and then hold a discussion directly with the applicant with the intention of resolving any issues prior to lodgement with Council. If any issues cannot be directly resolved the submission should be lodged with Council and both parties can accept the decision of the consent authority.
