Growth and development.
How planning and development decisions are made in Robbinsville, and how residents can follow them.
How a development decision gets made
Land use in New Jersey runs through a municipal board rather than through Council directly. An application is filed, the board’s professionals review it, it is heard at a public meeting, and the board votes.
Those hearings are open, and residents may attend and be heard on an application affecting them.
What gets weighed
- Consistency with the township’s master plan and ordinances.
- Traffic and access.
- Infrastructure: water, sewer, drainage.
- Open space, buffers and the effect on neighboring properties.
Following an application
Agendas, minutes and application materials are published by the Township, and meeting dates are posted in advance.

- NJ Division of Local Planning Services — how municipal land use planning works statewide.
This page describes process, not the merits of any particular application. For the status of a specific project, the Township is the source.
