Development monitoring in Forbes — common questions
How active is development in Forbes?
Forbes has low DA volumes typical of a NSW central west country town. Residential construction and secondary dwelling CDCs in the town area are the most common application types. Agricultural subdivision and rural-residential DAs occur on the outskirts. The Forbes town centre sees periodic small commercial and retail DAs.
What types of development should Forbes homeowners watch?
Secondary dwelling CDCs in town residential lots -- these can be lodged without council notification and are the most common neighbour-affecting application type. Agricultural subdivision DAs on the town fringe can affect road access and drainage. Flood risk management DAs near the Lachlan River and Forbes Creek are occasional but impactful.
Can I object to a neighbour's DA in Forbes?
Yes. Forbes Shire Council publicly notifies DAs for the standard 14-day period. In rural and town areas, physical site notices are typically posted on the property boundary. Submit a written objection to Council within the notification window to have it considered by the assessing officer.
