Lodge an Application

We are now accepting and processing development applications (DA) electronically. Hard copy forms and plans are no longer required.

There are three ways to lodge a DA:

1. Via the NSW Planning Portal. For more information on the Portal including how to register for an account please see the Quick Reference Guides issued by the NSW Department of Planning, Environment and Infrastructure. Construction certificate lodgement is coming soon.

   Payment for applications lodged through the Portal can also be made online.

   Or at our customer service centres: 
2. Electronically - bring in your application forms, plans and supporting documents on a USB. 
3. Hard copy - bring in your hard copy documents (or post them to us). From 1 September 2019 an additional $36 scanning fee will apply for hard copy lodgement.

Making sure that your electronic documents and attachments meet our Electronic Application Lodgement Digital Requirements (how you should name, save and the recommended file types) will help us process your application quicker.
