Planning Application Advertising Fees More than Halved

Office of the Chief Minister

The Territory Labor Government is making the NT the easiest place to do business.

We are cutting red tape with the halving of planning development advertising fees announced today, to support local business and local jobs.

The costs of fees which are now reduced are:

  • Development advertising fees, which previously cost $348 will now cost $121; and an
  • Exceptional Development and Rezoning application advertising will also cost $121, dropping from $696.

These application costs have dropped now that all planning application notifications have moved online.

Applications are now notified on the Northern Territory Government’s Development Applications Online website which has been enhanced to include:

  • a more user-friendly layout (including mobile friendly); and
  •  the ability to sign up to be automatically notified via email of planning applications with the ability to filter notices by application type and/or suburb.

This new portal means that even if you are interstate or don’t have access to a local newspaper, you will always be able to know what developments are proposed near you.

The Territory Government is ensuring our planning system supports economic development and community expectations. We will continue to engage with industry and the community on further potential improvements.

Quotes from the Minister for Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics, Eva Lawler:

“Our local businesses are critical to the success of the Territory and we are doing everything we can to help them do business, saving their time and money.

“We want to support planning and development projects in the Territory that meet community expectation.

“This cost reduction will take out the added, smaller costs that come with getting a project off the ground.”
