Council Assessment Panel
Home > Planning & Development > Development Assessment > Council Assessment Panel
The Council Assessment Panel (CAP) meets regularly to assess certain types of development applications and make planning decisions.
The Council Assessment Panel (CAP) meets on the third Monday of each month at 7pm in the Mayor’s Parlour, Norwood Town Hall, 175 The Parade, Norwood.
Overview
The Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 (PDI Act) was introduced in stages throughout South Australia.
One of the first provisions of the Act came into effect on 1 April 2017 and required Councils to establish a Council Assessment Panel (CAP) and appoint Assessment Managers to manage the operations of the Panels.
On 4 September 2017, the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters established its Council Assessment Panel, formerly known as the Council Development Assessment Panel (CDAP), in accordance with Sections 82 and 83 of the PDI Act.
Role and responsibility
The CAP is responsible for assessing and making decisions on applications which require public notification.
The CAP determines a small percentage of all development applications received by the Council, with the remainder considered by staff under delegated authority from the Council’s Assessment Manager.
The Council undertakes an annual review of the Council Assessment Panels performance and its delegations.
