Visit the Development Application Process for the steps involved in applying for a DA.
To avoid delay or return of a DA, please upload the correct information with your application.
Before lodging your DA, make sure you have the correct information and documents ready:
Check the requirements - use the Development Application Lodgement Matrix and Checklist to see what documents must be submitted. If the correct documentation is not provided, your application may be delayed or returned. The following are mandatory with all DA lodgements:
Estimated Cost of the Works report - Use the 'Estimating the genuine cost of development' as a guide.
Owners consent - Submit a completed Owners Consent form, if there are multiple owners or you are not the owner of the property.
Contact our Development Support Officers if you have any questions.
We check the correct information and documents have been provided so it can be assessed.
We'll contact you if more information is required. If the information is late or missing, the application may be returned. It can then be resubmitted when you have all of the required information.
Once your application is accepted, an invoice will be forwarded to the nominated payee for payment.
Payments must be received within five days of the invoice date or your application may be returned.
When payment is made, assessment of your application will start.
The Development Application Matrix and Checklist identifies what documents and plans are needed to be submitted with your development application. It is broken up into three sections:
