Date 04 August 2026 Category Public notice Topic Town planning Local planning policies 1.7 and 2.25 have been amended The City has amended two local planning policies under delegation as set out below. These changes were administrative in nature and do not change the policy criterion. Local Planning Policy 1.7: Development Exempt from Planning Approval was amended to update the template and correct an administrative error to delete clause 7, column 4, (b)(iv): “included in a Heritage Area”. This was because column 2 set out some exemptions for structures specifically in a Heritage Area. However, the conditions associated with it in column 4, (b)(iv) had the effect that the exemptions did not apply in a Heritage Area. This was clearly an administrative error as the condition contradicted the clause. Local Planning Policy 2.25: Telecommunications was amended to update the policy template and contemporaries the language in line with Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage guidance.
