Apply Online
Introducing the NSW Planning Portal - lodge your application for building and development - anywhere, anytime.
The way you apply for approval of building and development with us has changed - and has now expanded.
The following types of applications must be submitted to Council via the NSW Planning Portal.
The requirement to apply online expanded to include the following post-consent certificates:
- Development Applications (DA)
- Complying Development Applications (CDC)
- Construction Certificates (CC)
- Principal Certifier Appointments (PCA)
- Occupation Certificates (OC)
- Subdivision Works Certificates (SWC)
- Subdivision Certificates (SC)
As such, these applications will no longer be accepted over the counter or via email - they must be lodged online using the NSW Planning Portal. If you haven’t already, you’ll need to Register for a NSW Planning Portal account to start your application.
This change is in line with the NSW Government’s plan for all Councils to participate in their ePlanning platform for application lodgement.
