Record of Voting on Planning Matters

Under section 375A of the NSW Local Government Act 1993, councils must keep a public Register of Planning Decisions that records the vote of every councillor on planning items – such as development applications, planning proposals, development control plans and contribution plans – made under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.

Our Register of Planning Decisions is published on this page and is updated after each Council meeting once minutes are confirmed. For every relevant agenda item, the register shows the meeting date, agenda item or minute reference, the resolution, and how each councillor voted (for, against, absent, or declaring an interest).
