Development Applications

What is a Development Application?

A Development Application (DA) is a formal application for a development that requires consent under the NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act).

A DA is usually made to your local council and consists of standard application forms, supporting technical reports and plans. These documents will allow Council to assess your development and make a determination as to whether your proposed development fits within the parameters of the NSW planning legislation and local development control plans.

We save You Time and Money

We can save you time and money by undertaking this process on your behalf by preparing, collating and processing all of the necessary documentation needed for a thorough Development Application so you spend less time in the planning stages of your development and more time on your build.

Our aim is to get you to the construction phase faster.

The documentation required for a Development Application varies considerably depending on the scale of your project and the council to which you are applying. We deal with all local councils in cities and regions throughout NSW as well as consultants across the state to process applications through the NSW Planning Portal.

In addition to the required application forms, the construction details and the development specific plans, there may also be specialist studies and reports necessary to support your application. Every development is different therefore the nature of your application, and the level of reports required to support it, are dependant on the location of your property, land zoning and type of development.

In the process of preparing your planning documentation, we will liaise with the required expert consultants on your behalf to create a thorough submission with the greatest chance of being supported by Council.

We take the stress out of the DA process by preparing, collating and submitting the paperwork for you and liaising with Council throughout the process.
