Conciliation Services

The objective of this policy is to establish processes that will assist to:

  1. Reduce the level of community conflict related to planning applications.
  2. Empower the parties in a dispute to take control of their own dispute and attempt to reach a resolution which satisfies the needs and interests of all those involved.
  3. Permit the parties the opportunity of informing the Council of any agreements they have reached and or clarification of the issues still in dispute, in order for the Council to take these matters into account in determining the planning application or resolving other matters that are in dispute.
  4. To pursue consistency and fairness in the manner in which the Council deals with and resolves disputes.
