Petitioners are encouraged to submit their applications as soon as they are ready to do so.  Simpler applications may, at the discretion of the DAC Secretary, be processed more rapidly outside of meeting under delegated advice. 

 

For other applications, please note that meeting the deadline date does not guarantee that your application will be added to the agenda for the next meeting. Only applications which contain all necessary paperwork will be added to the agenda. In addition, some applications may require consultation with certain heritage bodies before they can be considered by the DAC. 

 

You are also advised to check if your application might be affected by the DAC's environmental guiding principles, as your paperwork will need to show that you have taken these into account if relevant. DAC staff can advise further about this, if in doubt.

 

If you are not sure whether your application has all the required paperwork or need further information about whether your application may require consultation, please contact the DAC. We can help to make sure you have done everything you need for your application to progress. Thank you.
