Development Enquiries and Pre-lodgement Meetings

Enquiries can be administered by telephone or email. They are intended to give you an opportunity to briefly discuss broad development concepts in relation to a particular site with a Council town planner. They are limited in length and should assist in identifying zoning, mapped planning scheme constraints and broad planning intentions for the land as indicated in the planning scheme. The advice you receive over the phone or in an email from the duty officer should not be substituted for independent professional advice or a comprehensive due diligence process.

To supplement enquiries, pre-lodgement meetings are intended to discuss a particular development proposal for a specific site in more detail.

For further information on a pre-lodgement meeting or to book a pre-lodgement meeting with Ipswich City Council, please refer to the Request a Development Meeting webpage.
