From 1 July 2021, all applications must be lodged through the NSW Planning Portal by applying online to create an eplanning account.
Where an application does not meet the minimum requirements specified in Schedule 1 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000, the application will be returned. A letter will be issued outlining the additional information required to be submitted. Once all information outlined within the accompanying letter has been prepared, the application may be resubmitted on the NSW Planning Portal.
