Site Plan Preparation Guide

Use these prompts when asking the relevant authority or a suitably qualified professional what site information may be useful. This is not a required document list or a permit, exemption or compliance determination. Exact requirements are project, property, pathway and current-authority specific.

Scope and next step

This resource is a general planning prompt, not a required document list, project pre-check, application-management service, or permit, exemption or compliance determination. Exact requirements are specific to the project, property, pathway and current advice from the relevant authority or a suitably qualified professional.

  • Would showing existing buildings help explain the proposal?

  • Should crossovers, driveways, easements or services be discussed for this property?

Proposal information questions

  • Which proposed dimensions would help explain the structure?
  • Which boundary distances should be discussed with the authority or professional?
  • Would the relationship to existing buildings be relevant?
  • Would roof form or height information help the discussion?
  • Could retaining, paving or stormwater conditions require professional advice?

Format questions

  • Ask what level of clarity, labelling and scale is appropriate for the intended use.
  • Ask a qualified professional whether an available survey or title source is suitable.
  • Ask which dimensions the relevant authority wants to see for this pathway.
  • Ask the authority about its current file format and submission preferences.
