The
Planning Portal offers a faster, easier way to get approval for certain types of development; including renovations and additions.
The system lets you lodge complying development applications online. A complying development is a straight-forward residential development that meets specific criteria and can be determined by councils, without the need for a full development application. This includes renovations, extensions, first floor additions and garages.
Applications are assessed under the NSW Housing Code for lots that are 200 m2 and above.
You can also find out changes you can make that don’t require planning approval, known as an exempt development.
NSW councils and the Department of Planning and Environment are offering the system to industry professionals including builders, planners, developers and architects; as well as home owners.
