On this page you can apply for pre-lodgement advice for developments including Regionally Significant Development and development subject to Clause 6.15 of Canterbury Bankstown Local Environmental Plan 2023 regarding Design Excellence.

Before you start - Some important information.

To assist in the development process you may wish to:
