Kevin Mills, leader of Dover District Council, said the authority was unaware which sites were being considered.
“We’re 10 weeks out and we’re still unsighted,” he said.
In May, the Port of Dover chief executive, Doug Bannister, told the BBC that under the new syste, the time it takes to go through border controls will likely rise from 45-90 seconds to two minutes or more for each person.
He said the port had plans aimed at “minimising dwell times, queues and of course, congestion out on the road network and throughout the town”.
Last week, Roger Gough, leader of Kent County Council, called on ministers to “make very urgent decisions on securing sites where tourist traffic can be held, away from the road network”.
For a six-month period, the EU is expected to allow the checks to be reduced in some circumstances if bad queues build up.
Christmas and Easter are expected to be the first busy periods after EES comes in on 10 November.
