The consultant panel will also assist with the assessment of development applications where council has a real or perceived conflict of interest, for example, where council is the landowner or applicant for a development application.
Assist in the task of duty planner function where required to assist the team with customer requests by phone and email.
Assess applications for development incentives or grants under the Economic Stimulus Policy on council’s behalf when the application loads are high or internal resourcing is limited.
Assist with the delivery of strategic planning projects when internal capacity is limited or during periods of leave.
