The NSW Government recently passed the Environmental Planning and Assessment Amendment (Planning Portal) Regulation 2020. This amendment introduces requirements for certain planning applications to be made through the NSW Planning Portal and enacts the Premier’s mandate of ePlanning Digital Services.

If you’re seeking council approval on a new build or renovation, you may be able to submit your development application (DA) online – anywhere, anytime, with our online DA service. Find out which NSW councils are using this exciting digital service.

The ePlanning Program is welcoming Accredited Certifiers to register to use the ePlanning Digital Services and to book your place for CDC and Post-Consent Certificate training courses.

The Department welcomes feedback from the community, government agencies and other stakeholders during public exhibition. View the On Exhibition system for draft plans and policies.
