182 Authority may give advice
The territory planning authority may, at any time before deciding a development application under section 185, give the applicant for the development application advice (pre‑decision advice) that, in the authority’s opinion, the application in its current form does not meet the requirements of the territory plan.
The territory planning authority may give pre‑decision advice more than once.
The territory planning authority may include advisory notes for the applicant about recommended changes to the application to meet the requirements of the territory plan.
The applicant may respond to the pre‑decision advice by—
amending the development application; or
requesting that the territory planning authority decide the application in its current form under section 185.
Note A response in accordance with s (4) (b) may affect the time to decide an application (see s 192).
Pre‑decision advice must be published on the authority website.
