- civil works for new subdivisions (i.e. connection to Council and external infrastructure) and other works associated with a material change of use of premises or reconfiguring a lot;
- placing an advertising device on premises; undertaking road works on Council roads; and
- modification to the streetscape.
After receiving development permit for a Material Change of Use or Reconfiguring a Lot, an Operational Works application may be required.
