At the Council meeting of 11 November 2025 Council resolved to advertise the proposed modified Local Planning Policy 2.5 - Home Businesses and Family Day Care.

The majority of the proposed modifications relate to the sections of the policy concerning Family Day Care. The proposed amendments provide clarity about applications on strata lots, reduce advertising requirements, remove requirements that are covered by other policies and legislation and make hours of operation more flexible. The modifications also propose to remove restrictions on garage sales.

Public comments will be considered by Council before the policy is adopted.

Refer to the policy document to see the proposed modified policy and submit your comments on the form below. Submissions should be lodged no later than 5pm Thursday 11 December 2025.
