From 1 July 2021, we require lodgement of all Development Applications (DAs) and Complying Development Certificates (CDCs) to be via the NSW Planning Portal. However the option to lodge DAs and CDCs via the NSW Planning Portal is available as of 14 January, 2021.
If you require assistance using the Planning Portal and were unable to find the answer within the help and support section please contact Service NSW on 1300 305 695 or email: info@service.nsw.gov.au
Here’s what you need to know:
From July 1 2021 lodgement of DAs and CDCs will no longer be accepted over the counter or via email and must be lodged using the NSW Planning Portal. This means that you will need to create an ePlanning account on the NSW Planning Portal website to lodge 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.
