The Application Tracker tool contains a tracking system representing key milestones in the Development Application process. It is not intended to provide a detailed history, but a summary of the stages that the application has gone through.
Complying development is a fast-track approval process for straightforward residential, commercial and industrial development. If the application meets specific criteria, it can be determined by a council or accredited certifier.
Visit the NSW Planning Portal for details
The Planning Viewer is accessed using the “Find A Property’ link on the NSW Planning Portal. It is
a map based tool developed by the Department of Planning and Environment which
provides a visual way to show the planning rules that apply to properties
across NSW.
