Consultation on NSW Government Community Participation Plan

The NSW Government has announced proposed changes to the Community Participation Plan which sets out consultation timeframes and community participation objectives for planning functions undertaken by the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure. 

The proposed changes shorten the minimum public exhibition period from 28 days to 14 days for certain large scale residential State Significant Development Applications.

Mosman Council voted at its July meeting to provide a submission that outlines its opposition to the NSW Government’s new guidelines. 

Council also resolved to encourage residents to make submissions on this matter. 

Consultation via the NSW Planning Portal is open until 17 July 2025.   

Visit the Council Meetings page to view the report to Mosman’s 1 July meeting and the draft minutes.

The proposed changes do not impact on Mosman Council’s Community Participation Plan.
