by case basis and for which an applicant may need to seek its own legal advice.

Table 1 below provides guidance on the responsible state government agency from which owner’s
consent should be sought to make an application on state land or other resource. Applicants should
contact the relevant state agency for advice to determine consent and any allocation requirements of a
state resource before a development can commence.

Currency and relevance of the consent

The owner’s consent is to be a current document relevant to the development being proposed.
Assessment managers can advise of the acceptable timeframe between the consent being obtained and
the development application lodged. The owner's consent should be specific to the application and
include details of the application being made. Generic owner’s consent intended to apply to all
development applications over a property should not be accepted.

The applicant is responsible for ensuring the information contained in an application, including the
owner's consent, is true and accurate. It is not the responsibility of the assessment manager or a private
certifier to check the accuracy or authenticity of ownership details.
