Local Planning Panel
The Central Coast Local Planning Panel (CCLPP) is an independent panel of qualified people to review and determine development applications for the Central Coast Local Government Area, providing increased transparency, integrity and confidence in the development application assessment process.
The CCLPP determines a range of development applications on behalf of Central Coast Council and provides advice on a range of strategic planning matters that are referred to it.
The panel generally meets monthly on a rotating roster and comprises of four members:
- The Chair
- Two professionals (with expertise in urban design, urban planning or other related field)
- One community representative selected from a pool of members appointed by Council
Local Planning Panel meetings, and associated tasks, are undertaken in accordance with the requirement of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979 (and associated Regulations) as well as the statutory rules set out via Ministerial Directions, Operational Procedures and Local Planning Panel Code of Conduct. Relevant statutory rules and other information on the functions and operation of Local Planning Panels can be found on the NSW Government website.
Meetings
Online public meetings and public planning panels will be made permanent to make it easier for the community to access. Planning panels and the Independent Planning Commission have the flexibility to hold hearings or meetings online, in person or as a hybrid of both.
Please visit the NSW Government Local Planning Panels (LPP) for more information.
The Panel will undertake a site orientation prior to the meeting.
