FAQ
What's a development assessment panel?
Development Assessment Panels are a panel comprised of independent technical experts and local government elected members which are appointed to determine some development applications made under existing local and regional planning schemes.
The panel’s composition provides a balance between the local knowledge of elected members and the technical expertise of the independent members in determining significant development applications.
DAPs are required to make decisions based on the local planning scheme and associated planning policies.Where can I see the plans?
The plans are available for download from the document library on this page or can be viewed at the City’s customer service centre located at 8 William Street, Fremantle from 8.00 am - 5.00 pm, Monday to Friday.
If you would like assistance reading the plans or have any questions, please phone 9432 9999 or send an email to planning@fremantle.wa.gov.au.
What's the purpose of the community information session?
Members of the City’s planning team will be available to explain the plans in further detail and answer your questions. The session is an informal, 'drop-in' style event. Elected members and the applicant are also invited, and may be at the session.
What happens to my comments?
