NSW Planning Portal, handled.

End-to-end NSW Planning Portal lodgement. DA, CDC and CC applications, PCA appointment and Occupation Certificate (OC) — fixed-fee, handled cleanly so the submission goes in right the first time.

The NSW Planning Portal has its own logic — document naming conventions, owner's consent, statutory declarations, fee schedules and a workflow that trips people up if you haven't done it before. We handle the full lodgement process so the submission goes in clean and gets accepted first time. You don't need to have done your drawings with us — bring your own documentation and we'll lodge it.

What we lodge

Common approval pathways.

A short reference to the pathways most often referenced in our work. The right route depends on the project, site and council — we recommend the most suitable option once the brief is reviewed.

DA

Development Application

Formal planning approval from council — used for change of use, new works, alterations and signage.

CDC

Complying Development Certificate

Faster, certifier-issued approval available when a project meets the conditions of the relevant SEPP.

CC

Construction Certificate

Issued after DA approval — confirms documentation complies with the BCA and conditions of consent. Authorises construction to commence.

OC

Occupation Certificate

Issued at the end of construction — confirms the building is suitable for occupation.
