Electronic Lodgement

As of 1 November 2011, Council will be requiring the lodgement of all DA plans and documents in electronic form as well as hard copies.

Development Applications will not be accepted unless they are accompanied by electronic copies of all application forms, supporting documents and plans as required by the DA Checklist relevant to your particular type of development proposal. The number of hard copies listed on the relevant Checklist will also still be required to be submitted but in addition to this all such documents and plans will also need to be submitted as an electronic version using a CD or USB or similar device. All electronic documents submitted with your application must satisfy the following criteria:

PDF Format

All documents, plans, application forms etc must be submitted as PDF files. Security settings must not be applied to electronic documents, this includes passwords.

Documents

Must be A4 formatted and optimised for minimum size (on-line publishing). Files larger than 4Mb should be broken up into logical parts and supplied as separate files.

Plans

Must be to scale and rotated to landscape.

Multi-page Documents

Multiple paged documents should be provided as a single complete document and not as single images. Multiple paged documents must contain bookmarks to indicate the relevant sections of the document.

File Names

File naming conventions apply to all electronic documents, including plans and application forms. File names are to match the document requirements listed in the DA Checklist.  For Example: Appendix A - Survey Plan, Appendix B - Site Plan etc.  Please see File Naming Protocol below.

Accuracy

Electronic documents must be exact reproductions of the original hard copy documents or plans.  

NOTE: Electronic Documents lodged with Council will be published on Council's DA Tracking Tool on our web page. Please ensure you read and complete Question 16 on the Development Application Form. Your electronic device will be returned to you once your application has been determined.
