Objections and comments

It is important to us that you have a say in the development of Woollahra. As a part of the Development Application (DA) process, proposed developments are advertised to the public for comment.

Methods of advertising include:

  • Posting notices at the site of the proposed development
  • Mailing nearby residents a summary of the proposed development
  • Advertising in the Wentworth Courier
  • Providing a list of current DAs open for comment on this website

For details and guidelines on how we advertise and notify of DA's, view the DCP for Advertising and Notification (PDF 100 kb)

Applications are advertised for a limited time (typically 3 weeks). At any time, you can view current DAs open for comment.

Object or comment on a DA, it's free.

Where objections on a DA are not resolved by the Assessment Officer and the Applicant, there is an escallation process where DA's are delegated to the Application Assessment Panel (AAP), Development Control Committee (DCC) or to full Council for resolution. More information about determination (approval or rejection).
