We keep electronic records of all documents received for development proposals. Not all of these documents are held in the online library due to issues such as sensitivity of information, property owner privacy, intellectual property and copyright. 

If you are looking for a document that is not available or you wish to add an item to the online library, please send us an email with the following information:

  • title 
  • author
  • publication date.

We will respond to you within 10 business days.
