2022 - Referral Agency Response Application

For referrals against the Queensland Development Code MP 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 (siting relaxation, and building over services).

This application form is required for building works when Council is a referral agency to a development application under Schedule 9 Part 3 Division 2 Table 1, Table 3 and/or Division 3 Table 7 of the Planning Regulation 2017.

These applications are often called a ‘siting relaxation request’ or a ‘building over services request’.

The fee for lodging a Referral Agency Response Application is currently prescribed under the Planning and Development Schedule of Fees and Charges.

Please note that proposed building works can also be affected by a zone or overlay under the Townsville City Plan, and may require a further development application to be lodged with Council for approval. If required, a development application can be lodged in combination with this referral agency response application.

Note: All questions marked with an asterix must be answered.
