What is the planning application process?

If your property is affected by SCO15, you should apply for a planning permit through your local Council (or Responsible Authority) as usual. The Council will facilitate the process and will refer relevant applications to Suburban Rail Loop Authority (SRLA) for assessment against SCO15 provisions.

Prior to lodging an application, it is also recommended you contact us for pre-planning advice if you intend to construct a building or carry out works on land affected by SCO15. This is an opportunity to learn more about SCO15 requirements and ensure these have been considered in your planning application.
