Other Development Application Requirements

LODGEMENT & PAYMENT

A valid development application comprises of a completed development application form accompanied by all of the required information or documents that address the relevant rules and/or relevant criteria for it to be considered for approval.

Proposals in the Code Track must be accompanied by information or documents addressing all the relevant rules, including all statements of endorsement required for the application.  If the information is not provided the application must be refused.

Proposals in the Merit track have the option to comply with the rules or criteria, unless the rule is mandatory.  Where it is proposed to meet the criteria, the onus is on the applicant to demonstrate, by supporting plans and written documentation, that the proposed development satisfies the criteria and therefore the intent of the element. 

Proposals in the Impact track also have the option to justify any non-compliance with the rules and the criteria, unless the rule is mandatory.  Where it is proposed to not meet the rules and the criteria, the onus is on the applicant to justify the non-compliance by demonstrating that the proposed development is consistent with the relevant principles of the Statement of Strategic Directions.  Supporting plans and written documentation, providing consideration of the relevant Intents of the Code and the Zone objectives, are to accompany the development application. 

Once a development application is received, the documentation will be checked to ensure it meets the standard for lodgment.  If the documentation provided is acceptable, you will receive written confirmation the application is ready for lodgment and a request for the payment of the application fees. A development application is not lodged until full payment of fees is made.

If the DA documentation is not acceptable for lodgment, you will receive written advice detailing the additional information required and/or any other issues with your application. Once these things are provided the Authority will recommence the documentation check and fee payment process outlined above.

If you have not been allocated a proposal number, leave this number out of the file name. 
•	The documentation provided on CD/DVD either over the counter or via an electronic lodgment process (email or internet) will be considered to be the relevant documentation associated with this application.

It does not affect the validity of ACT development assessment and approval processes. The ACT cannot provide preliminary advice on whether a proposal falls within the definition of a controlled action, or requires referral to the Commonwealth.
