Your building, new home or addition is important to you or your client. For this reason, and in the interests of maintaining a high standard of service and effective processing times, Maitland City Council asks that you ensure your Development Application is complete upon lodgement.

To assist you in ensuring that your application is complete, we have developed a matrix style check system, which is located in our new Application Forms.

Please ensure that you carefully read through the Application Guide, ascertain the type of Application you are lodging, and then ensure that you supply all the documentation listed in the Matrix under your type of Application. There are plenty of easy to understand explanations in our new Application Guide.

Maitland City Council would like to advise that from 15th September 2003 onwards, incomplete Development Applications will no longer be accepted for lodgement, but returned to each applicant with a request for additional documentation or information. We ask that prior to lodgement, you ensure that you have read and fully understand the Application Guide, and that your Application Form is complete and all relevant documents, plans, consents and fees are attached and completed.
