Building & Development

Planning a development

Waverley Council has a range of policies, tools and resources that can help you understand the types and scope of development possible on your site, inlcuding online maps, building file searches, Waverley LEP and DCP and information about exempt and complying development. Our new Development Enquirer online tool will assist you with your planning enquiry and is the first step of your planning process.
Development applications

You may be required to submit a Development Application (DA) to Waverley Council before you can make changes to a building or site. This might include building a residential, commercial or industrial building, making an alteration or addition to a residential, commercial or industrial property, subdividing land or changing the use of a building.
