Fees for appeals and declarations
There is a fee for appealing to the Development Tribunals.
You can’t get a refund if you lodge an appeal and then withdraw the appeal. Additionally, you can’t get an appeal fee waived due to financial hardship.
You can pay fees:
- online via our secure credit card payment facility
- by cheque
- by money order.
Some common appeal and declaration fees are shown below. The fee amount varies depending whether the tribunal needs to do a site inspection.
See the full list of fees in the Planning Regulation 2017 Fee Schedule Guide (Table 4 - Tribunal fees, Schedule 17 on pages 12 to 17).
To confirm which fee applies, contact the Registrar:
