Planning Act 2023

This section applies if—

a person applies to an exemption assessor for an exemption assessment under section 151; and

the exemption assessor agrees to do the exemption assessment.

The exemption assessor must—

assess the application; and

give the applicant a notice (an exemption assessment D notice)—

stating whether the development is, in the assessor’s opinion, an exempt development; and

including anything else prescribed by regulation.

The exemption assessor must give a copy of the exemption assessment D notice to the territory planning authority within 5 days after the day the notice is given to the applicant.

The exemption assessor may, in assessing the application, request more information from the applicant.

If the applicant does not provide the requested information, the exemption assessor need not assess the application or give the exemption assessment D notice.

The exemption assessor may charge a fee for giving the exemption assessment D notice.
