Submission checklist

Suggestions on how to prepare a submission - From Adelaide

• Provide an honest appraisal of how the development will affect you and the people around you.
• Use the resources provided only as a guide; as food for your own words and ideas.
• Prepare your letter in concise terms. Don't repeat yourself. Don't waffle.
• Use point form or prose, depending on how comfortable you are with either form.
  There are two schools of thought on how this should be done - just be natural.
• Don't over-use CAPITAL LETTERS because it could be construed as SHOUTING
• Don't denigrate anyone - use positive language.
• Add a declaration to say that you have not made donations or contributions to any councillors.
• Address your submission to the General Manager
• Include the File number and full title of the Development Proposal
  (in our case:
  File No: X/216/2010
  Location: 435-437 Great Western Highway, Faulconbridge NSW 2776
  Proposed Development: Change of use from motor showroom to funeral home and crematorium)
• Send a copy of your submission with a nice covering letter to one or more of your local councillors.
• Write a letter to the local newspaper.
• Urge your next door neighbour to review the situation and write a submission.
