What’s the difference?
Prepared Preliminary Planning Advice is focused on giving planning advice on a proposal. It is ideal when you want a professional view before committing to drawings, purchase decisions, or a formal application pathway.
The Planning Report is a detailed planning report assessment. It is more comprehensive assessment pathway and better suited where you need a clearer written planning record, a detailed assessment format, or a document to share with other project stakeholders or to submit to Council.
