There are a range of factors that determine how much you have to pay for a Planning Permit.
Planning fees
Calculating your fee
The cost of your application depends on what you're doing. The key factors that influence your fee include:
- the type of permit (planning, subdivision, planning scheme amendment)
- the cost of the development
- the type of property (single dwelling, multi-dwelling)
