Construction management plan approval

We require developers and builders to carefully manage excavation, demolition and building works.

A construction management plan (CMP) may be required for large or difficult-to-build developments.

The plan should account for all aspects of the proposed demolition or building works and include a construction management traffic plan (CTMP).

Amendments

Any changes to an endorsed CMP (for example traffic management plans or construction methods) require our approval before implementation.

Works affecting public space, community safety or amenity must not start until written approval of the CMP amendment has been issued.

Steps to apply for CMP approval

Step 1.Prepare your CMP

We require your CMP to include specific detail.

Use the subject checklists found on this page to ensure you include all the required information.

Step 2.Additional document preparation

CMPs will only be assessed when accompanied by the correct supporting documentation, including:

  • an extract of the building contract in relation to the construction of the proposed works
  • a statutory declaration from the owner of the land nominating the builder name and stating that a building contract is in place for the proposed works.
  • a CTMP prepared by your traffic engineering consultant.

Step 3.Application

Apply for CMP approval

There is an application cost of $275.00

Step 4.After you submit

We will email you a copy of the completed form for your records.

Where necessary, you will be asked to discuss with us directly your proposed CMP. Your appointed traffic engineering consultant may also be required to attend.

CMP applications require a minimum of 4 weeks to fully assess.

Step 5.Final approval

If there is no related planning permit, you will receive your final approval within 10 business days provided all criteria has been met.

Work on your project can now begin, and your builder can apply for all relevant permits.

Steps to amend an endorsed CMP

Step 1.Supporting documentation preparation

CMP amendments will only be assessed when accompanied by the correct supporting documentation, including:

  • detailed reasons for the proposed changes
  • updated plans
  • relevant documents that highlight the proposed amendment.

You will also need your CMG file reference number. This can be found under the site address in your original CMP approval documentation.
