The Far North Queensland Regional Organisation of Councils (FNQROC) has recognised the need to develop comprehensive, structured and practical manuals to identify minimum standards and promote consistency in development requirements throughout the Far North Queensland region.

Council's Development, Environment and Community team are an invaluable source of information for those wishing to build, develop or invest in our region. Appointments with our building and planning experts are encouraged before you commit to buying or building property in Cook Shire. Contact Council's Development, Environment and Community team to arrange a meeting to discuss your project further.
Please see the forms and templates section of the Department of State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning website.
You may need to lodge a Building Application. You can access the building forms you will need from the building forms section of the Department of State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning.
Council developed a Building Applications Checklist to ensure you have satisfied all requirements.
You may need to lodge a Plumbing Application. You can access the plumbing forms you will need from the Queensland Government Department of Housing and Public Works webpage.
