Council is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) from eligible representatives from the local community to join Council’s Local Planning Panel (LPP). A LPP is a panel of chair, three independent expert members and a community representative who determine development applications and make recommendations on planning proposals submitted to local councils. LPPs are in place so that the process of assessment and determination of development applications of high value, corruption risk, sensitivity or strategic importance is transparent and accountable. Candidates should have knowledge of the local community, understand local concerns and be able to represent the interests of the community.
Community representatives should have an understanding of the planning process and assessment issues (but are not expected to be experts). All applicants must commit to adhere to a code of conduct and operational procedures.
Your role as an LPP member would be part-time for up to three years. Members will be remunerated for attending panel meetings
