Development consultation frequently asked questions

What forms of consultation are carried out on development applications?

The Town’s Local Planning Policy – “Community Consultation on Planning Proposals(PDF, 386KB)”, provides guidance on the community consultation process for planning proposals, including proposals which require consultation, the means and duration of consultation, and the manner in which Council will keep the community informed of the decision-making process. 

How can I make a submission?

If you wish to provide comments on a development application currently open for community consultation, the easiest way to give your feedback is online, using the online submission form on the development application's page. 
Alternatively, you can provide your comments by email to admin@vicpark.wa.gov.au, or post to Town of Victoria Park, Locked Bag No. 437, Victoria Park WA 6979, quoting application reference number - located on the development application page (i.e. 5.2018.100.1).
