STATUTORY PLANNING FEES – NILLUMBIK
PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT (FEES) INTERIM REGULATIONS 2014
NOTES FOR APPLICATIONS FOR PERMITS OR AMENDMENTS TO PERMITS:
 For permit applications where more than one permission is requested (eg use and development or
development and subdivision), the total fee is the sum of the highest fee which would apply if
separate applications were made plus 50% of all other fees.
 Where an estimate of cost of development is required to determine the application fee, the estimate
provided by the applicant must be realistic. Council may ask for information to support the estimate.
 In some instances, only part of a project needs planning permission (eg development of a dwelling
and construction of access to a Declared Main Road where development of the dwelling does not
require planning permission but construction of the access does). In such cases, the application (and
therefore the fee) should be confined to the requirement for which a permit is needed.
 No fee applies to an application to remove, destroy or lop vegetation.
