EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST SOUGHT

Camden Council is seeking community representatives to become members of its Local Planning Panel (LPP).

The LPP, which consists of three independent state appointed experts and one representative from the Camden community, is responsible for the determination of applications for a diverse and interesting range of developments. The LPP is also responsible for providing advice on rezoning applications.

Expressions of Interest are sought from a mix of people who live locally to join our pool of community representatives. Community representatives perform an important role injecting local understanding and a community perspective into the decision-making process.

This is a part time, paid role and membership of the LPP will be for up to 3 years.
