MARCH–AUGUST 2026 · LOCAL HIGHLIGHTS
The six-month local file
The decisions, projects and deadlines most likely to matter locally. Older context appears only where it helps explain what is happening now.
Deadline · Closes 10 & 16 Sep 2026
Two Applecross applications are open for comment
The City is advertising a three-storey house at 16 Carron Road until 16 September and alterations to a house at 107A Matheson Road until 10 September.
WHY IT MATTERS
The proposals are modest compared with major redevelopment, but they are live statutory opportunities for nearby owners to review plans and comment on relevant planning impacts.
WHAT TO DO
Open the City register, inspect the plans and submit only planning-relevant comments before the stated deadline.

Six-storey unhosted short-stay proposal enters the Applecross file
A DAP application proposes six-storey unhosted short-stay accommodation at 5A/B Macrae Road.
WHY IT MATTERS
The scale and visitor-accommodation use make this more consequential than a routine house application, with potential questions around built form, access, parking and local amenity.
WHAT TO DO
Follow the formal assessment and DAP determination; an application is not an approval.
