SC6.2 ­ PSP1                   Preparing a well­made application
SC6.2.1                Purpose

(1)    The purpose of this planning scheme policy is to provide guidance to applicants:
       (a)     on how to make a well­made application;
       (b)     on information Council may request or require to inform the proper assessment of a development application; and
       (c)     on the content of technical plans and reports that support a planning application.

(2)    Typically, a well­made application will have identified the need for technical plans and reports through a thorough planning
       investigating;
(3)    Where an applicant is unsure of any particular plans or reports required for a planning application, a pre­lodgement meeting with
       Council officers is encouraged to identify any technical plans or reports as pertinent to the application.
(4)    In instances where suitable plans or technical reports are not provided with the submitted application, Council may require such
       plans or reports to be supplied as part of an information request.

  Note— nothing in this planning scheme policy limits Council’s discretion to request other relevant information under the Development Assessment Rules made under section
  51(1) the Planning Act 2016.


SC6.2.2                Standard well­made application content

(1)    A well­made application as a minimum need to contain:
       (a)     Mandatory information under the Act, such as correct application forms, prescribed fee and land owners consent (where
               required);
               Note—For further guidance refer to the DA forms guide: Forms 1 and 2 https://dilgpprd.blob.core.windows.net/general/guide­da­forms.pdf

       (b)     A planning report should be provided for either a Referral Agency Building (RAB) or a Referral Agency Planning (RAP)
               application and the report is only required to address the area(s) of non­compliance.
       (c)     A planning report should be provided for a code or impact assessable development and include a detailed assessment of
               the assessable benchmarks. An impact assessable application should provide an assessment against all applicable
               parts of the planning scheme. A planning report should:
               (i)     address the Acceptable outcomes of the applicable codes. If the proposal complies, explain why and move onto the
                       next Acceptable outcome;
               (ii)    if the proposal does not comply with an Acceptable outcome, then explain why it does not and address the
                       corresponding Performance outcome and explain how it complies;
               (iii)   if the proposal does not comply with either the Acceptable outcome or its corresponding Performance outcome, then
                       address the Purpose and overall outcomes of the relevant code and explain how the proposal satisfies these
                       elements;
               (iv)    if the proposal does not comply with the Purpose and overall outcomes of a code, then a comprehensive
                       assessment against the Strategic intent of the Planning scheme is required and explain how the proposal satisfies
                       these elements;
               (v)     if the proposal is contrary to the outcomes of the Strategic intent, then consideration needs to be given as to whether
                       the proposal is in conflict with the planning scheme and if so, how the conflict can be justified.

       (d)     Professionally prepared plans to scale that satisfy the mandatory information under the Act and clearly demonstrate what
               the proposal is trying to achieve. Plans should include:
               (i)     Elevations to scale of building(s) or structure(s) showing natural ground level (and finished ground level) including
                       RLs, height, external building materials, colours and external lighting;
               (ii)    A streetscape elevation or photomontage to scale showing the proposed development with the built form and
                       character of adjacent and nearby development, including key character and design elements such as roof form,
                       building height, fencing, trees and any difference in levels between the subject land and adjacent properties. For
                       examples of a Streetscape Elevation see Figure 1;
               (iii)   Site plan to scale showing proposed buildings and structures with floor plans, setbacks to all boundaries, driveways,
                       car parking areas, pedestrian paths and landscaping including trees; and
               (iv)    A site analysis plan including the following:
