Planning Act 2023

The territory planning authority must give a scoping document for a development proposal to the proponent of the proposal within—

30 working days after the day the proponent makes an application under section 109; or

if the chief planner extends the period to give the scoping document under subsection (2)—the extended period.

The chief planner may, in writing, extend the period to give a scoping document for a development proposal if satisfied that, because of the complexity of the proposal and the consultation required, the extension is necessary.

The chief planner must give written notice of an extension under subsection (2) to the proponent of the development proposal.
