Council is currently experiencing a high volume of requests, which are impacting our response times. Whilst there are no statutory time frames for processing of informal requests, we will endeavour to complete your request in a timely manner. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Development Application (DA) Information Publicly Available
To access records relating to DA's lodged with Council from 1 January 2020, use DA tracker.
To access records relating to earlier DA's (from 2011) use the Find a Property function.
For instructions on how to use the Find a Property function, please click here.
You can also access Council information through an Informal access to information application, or a Formal access to information application (Note: Formal Access to Information Applications incur a $30 application fee and possible processing charges). Read below to ensure you choose the correct application.
Informal Access to Information Application Form
An Informal Application should be submitted in the first instance to request access to Council information and there is no application fee.
Examples of Council records available include all documents relating to Development Applications, such as consents, building certificates, building plans and historical records, to name a few.
IMPORTANT: Copyright applies to plans and reports. Council cannot reproduce these documents for you without the written permission of the person or company that created them (section 36 Copyright Act (Cth) 1968).
If you are seeking a copy of plans or consultant reports, consent of the copyright owner (Architect/Engineer/Surveyor/Author etc.) is required before Council can make these records available. If requested by you, Council will try to supply details of copyright owners of plans and reports to you so that you can obtain the necessary copyright permission. If you are unable to obtain copyright consent, Council will facilitate view only access to the records being sought.
Use this form if information is not available to you through an Informal Access to Information Application process.
A Formal Access to Information Application is required if you are seeking a large number of documents or extensive searches, or you are seeking personal or business information about a third party who must be consulted before the information can be released.
Formal Access Applications will be completed within a statutory timeframe of 20 working days. The processing time can be extended for third party consultation, if files need to be retrieved from archive storage or by agreement. A $30 application fee applies, and processing charges may also be imposed.
Council can refuse a request for information if there is an overriding public interest against the disclosure of information sought, or if the information involves the unreasonable use of Council's resources.
Council will explain the reasons an access application has been refused. If you are not satisfied with a refusal, you may apply for an internal review by Council's Reviewing Officer. If you are not satisfied with the internal review, you may seek to have the matter reviewed by the Office of the Information Commissioner or by the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT).
You may wish to apply for an internal review of a decision Liverpool City Council has made under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009. You must lodge your application with us within 20 working days after the notice of decision was given to you.
You can make your request for Internal Review online here.
The application fee for an internal review is $40.
Under the GIPA Act, Council must have an agency information guide which sets out Council’s structure and functions and how you can access Council information.
Agency Information Guide
The GIPA Act requires Council to record and publish certain information about contracts worth more than $150,000 with private sector bodies.
Due to the size of Council's Delegations Register, it cannot be downloaded to Council's website. However, copies of individual delegations can be made available by contacting Council's Access to Information Officer on 1300 36 2170.
The Disclosure Log records information that Council has released in response to formal access applications, which may be of interest to other members of the public. Details are entered into the disclosure log after the application has been decided and the right to review period has passed.
Below is a list of access applications determined by Liverpool City Council since September 2024.
