Approval · part of 5. Plan, develop and give leadership to others in a service project
5. Proposal approved by the council or district
Required Often forgotten
The last of the four approvals, and the one with the least predictable timing. No work on the project may start until it is given.
Notes and warnings
Warning. No work on the project may begin until the proposal has all four approvals, including this one. A project carried out before approval has not met the requirement, however good the project was.
Note. Turnaround here is set by your council or district, not by anything national. Ask what theirs is and enter it as the lead time on this item.
