NSW Planning Portal 

The NSW Planning Portal provides an online environment where people can access planning services and information from anywhere at any time. This is a convenient alternative to paper-based transactions that can only take place during business hours.

Council has implemented development application submission through the planning portal. Registered users gain access to a digital dashboard which helps them manage their applications through the system. Applicants can submit a DA online. Council has prepared a How to Guide to assist with this process.
