Development Applications

Important note to customers - increased DA timeframes

Our focus is to provide a great customer experience for you.

Unfortunately, we are currently experiencing unprecedented demand in development applications (DAs).

This means our development assessment timeframes are longer than usual.

As part of our ongoing commitment to improving the application process for our community, we are aligning our processes with the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment’s ‘Development Assessment Best Practice Guide’.

We are working hard towards reducing the timeframes.

Our Application Tracker is available for you to use to check for updates and track your development application.

We apologise for the delays and thank you for your patience and understanding.
