What is a privately funded amendment?

Privately funded amendments are initiated at the request of an applicant or land owner and generally relate to individual parcels of land, where the land owner is the main beneficiary of any future use or development.

Council is not obliged to process a privately funded amendment and therefore a proposal is only likely to progress if it is consistent with Council's policies for the area and it is likely to result in net community benefit.

All costs associated with processing a privately funded amendment are paid for by the applicant. The payment of fees does not guarantee Council support for the amendment.
