Issue Date: May 2024
This unit supports the attainment of skills and knowledge required for competent workplace performance in councils of all sizes. Knowledge of the legislation and regulations within which councils must operate is essential. The unique nature of councils, as a tier of government directed by elected members and reflecting the needs of local communities, must be appropriately reflected.
This unit covers conducting initial assessments of minor planning applications. The work is undertaken under the supervision and delegation of more senior officers, including council planners.
What constitutes a 'minor' application will be determined by individual councils with reference to their own planning schemes and relevant legislative frameworks. The initial assessment is conducted in order to identify compliance with building controls, council requirements and environmental impact.
This unit, together with LGAPLEM410A and LGAPLEM412A , expand upon and replace LGAPLEM401B and LGAPLEM402B .
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
