The planning approval pathway is a complex one to navigate so Central Coast Council has provided the following links to key documents and information you should consider as part of the early stages of any size project. 

The links below provide access to Council’s online mapping system, policies and plans that regulate building on the Coast. You will also find a link to a development application guide and Council’s pre-lodgement services that can assist you starting well.

Council recognises that the better prepared each application is, the easier the assessment process is for everyone. We provide the following information to assist you however this may not be exhaustive. Please contact Council’s pre-lodgement team to assist you further.
