Please note: Please refer to and address Shoalhaven Development Control Plan 2014 – Chapter G2: Sustainable Stormwater Management and Erosion/Sediment Control in the Statement of Environmental Effects.

To lodge a Development Application (DA), you must obtain consent of the landowner, which includes the signature of every landowner.

If the owner is a company or owner's corporation, the application must be signed by a person under the common seal.

If your property is a strata unit and you are proposing development beyond your entitlement, you will need to get the approval of the owner's corporation.

If you have recently purchased the property, Council may not have received formal notice of the sale, and the former owner will be the listed on Council's records. You will need to provide Council with a copy of the transfer of sale or a letter from your solicitor advising ownership has changed.

A site analysis plan is required to include:

• north arrow, Legend, and scale bar
• lot number, deposited plan number, and street address
• overall lot dimensions, i.e. area, length, and width
• sun movement patterns in summer and winter
• prevailing wind direction
• setback pattern of existing development on the street
• existing developments on the site
• location and details of façade wall, entries, windows, vehicle entries, awnings, public footpath, and street furniture for proposed and adjoining developments
• location and type of fencing used on the site
• location of infrastructure servicing the site
• identification of existing and proposed buildings/structures
• location of passive solar elements on adjoining properties
• height of adjoining buildings/structures and shadows cast by them over the site
• direction of views to and from the site

A plan of the site to provide the context of the proposed development.

The plan must show the exact location of buildings and other features on the site, at the same scale as the plans and elevations.

The plan must include the following details:

• north point (true north)
• scale (show ratio and bar scale), lot dimensions and areas
• date, plan number, amendment number
• position of all existing structures, contours and spot levels
• position of structures, including trees on adjoining land (including the street and adjoining parks or open space), especially window locations in adjoining buildings with top and bottom of sill heights
• position of existing trees on both the site and adjoining sites (including the street and adjoining parks or open space), and reduced level at the base of such trees, and their height and canopy spread
• the location and levels of any solar panels on adjoining lots

Please ensure that your document includes the following before uploading:

• the location, boundary dimensions, site area and north point of the land
• existing vegetation and trees on the land
• the location and uses of existing buildings on the land
• existing levels of the land in relation to buildings and roads
• the location and uses of buildings on sites adjoining the land

This plan should be prepared by a registered surveyor and show the current location of existing buildings and other features on the site. The plan should include the following details:

• name of the registered surveyor who prepared the plans
• boundary dimensions
• site area
• location of existing buildings, structures, and site features
• topography (plans to accurately plot existing and proposed spot levels to Australian Height Datum (AHD) to all corners of the site, and contours at 0.5 m intervals including that of adjoining properties where relevant)
• natural drainage of site
• all easements and rights of way (if any)
• significant and native vegetation (indicating location, height spread, and species)
• location, height, and use of any adjoining buildings or structures, such as swimming pools
• street features (immediately adjoining the property such as kerbs, crossings, pits, significant trees, telegraph poles, etc.)

This plan will detail waste management and minimisation activities to be carried out during demolition, construction and operation of the premises/development.

This plan will need to:

• specify waste by type and volume and nominate reuse and recycling potential
• nominate siting of waste storage and recycling facilities for demolition, construction and final use
• detail how and where residual wastes will be disposed of, and
• explain how ongoing waste management of the site will operate.
