Council’s Notification Policy for Development Applications is contained within Part 1 of the Liverpool Development Control Plan, Chapter 18.
Notification or advertising of development applications to adjoining neighbours or the wider community is undertaken in accordance with the Notification Policy and is dependent on the type of development application, and where it is located.
For instance, a new dwelling in a residential zone is not notified to adjoining neighbours in accordance with the Policy. However, a child care centre in a residential zone is notified to properties within 75m of the site.
State Government legislation requires the Council to have a notification policy contained within their DCP. There are no minimum requirements for notification.

The only exception to this is development classified as Designed Development or Nominated Integrated Development under the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act. These application require public exhibition of the proposal for 30 days.
It is important that complying low risk applications eg housing are not unnecessarily delayed by notification and to ensure that comprehensive community consultation and engagement is undertaken at LEP stage.
Investigate and report back to Council on the possible updating of the Council’s current Notifications of DA’s Policies based on distances, and consider possibly changing the policy to be measured in the number of people contacted, to ensure in all circumstances the number of residents that have been notified about an impending development, is in accordance with Council’s consultation obligations and the IHAP Objection criteria, noting that the IHAP criteria was recently changed from a minimum of 3 to a minimum of 5 people.
