Development Control

Development control refers to the regulations and processes that govern how land and buildings can be used and developed. It ensures that new projects comply with local laws, zoning regulations, and community standards. Authorities assess factors such as safety, environmental impact, and aesthetic considerations before granting permission for construction or changes to existing structures. This control helps balance growth with the needs of the community, protecting public interests, preserving the environment, and ensuring orderly development. In essence, it helps shape towns and cities in a way that benefits everyone.
