DDP Meetings are held in our Dee Why office at 725 Pittwater Road, Dee Why.
Upon arrival advise the Customer Service Centre staff that you’re attending a DDP meeting and you will be directed to the meeting area/room.
The DDP consists of three members from Northern Beaches Council staff:
- Chair: General Manager or Executive Manager
- 2 x Panel Members: Manager, Development Assessment and Manager, Strategic & Place Planning
The Panel have had no involvement in the process of assessing the application. The Panel has reviewed the assessment report and all submissions received prior to the meeting
The Panel has conducted a site visit prior to the meeting.
Speakers registered to address the Panel will each have 3-5 minutes to speak. The Panel will hear from each speaker individually in a closed room.
Any documents submitted to the Panel may be posted on our website in accordance with the provisions of our Development Control Plans.
Once all the registered speakers have addressed the Panel, the Panel will move into a closed session to deliberate.

The Panels determinations and minutes of the meeting will be posted on Council’s website as soon as possible
Depending on the complexity of the items this can take between 2-10 days. The assessment officer may be contacted during this period for any updates.
Once the minutes have been posted on the website the determination will be emailed to the applicant.
