Accelerated Development Applications

What is the Accelerated Lodgement Ready pathway?

The Accelerated Lodgement Ready (ALR) pathway is facilitated through the submission of an ALR request.

The ALR request service is provided free of charge and involves a preliminary review of your proposed development prior to lodgement in the NSW Planning Portal. Once reviewed and deemed satisfactory, your lodgement ready application will be eligible for an accelerated assessment, generally receiving your determination within 15 days.

For developments that require referral to Ausgrid (as works are proposed within 5m of power lines) and/or are considered appropriate to require Public Notification, provisions exist for the development to be ineligible for an accelerated assessment, generally receiving your determination within 25 days. 

How to submit an application for review?

  1. Complete the ADA checklist for your development type. Note: if you answer YES to any of the criteria your application cannot be considered as an ADA.
  2. Complete the Statement of Environmental Effects template.
  3. Prepare documentation as outlined in Documents Required for Lodgement for Accelerated Development Applications.
  4. Use our Accelerated Lodgement Ready form to submit required documentation for review. 

Only one ALR request is permissible per proposed ADA. Council will not review amendments made to previously considered ALR requests.

You may wish to seek a further review of a proposed development via a Pre-DA meeting. This is an at fee service. Any development application lodged following a Pre-DA will progress through the standard development assessment process and standard assessment timeframes will apply

What happens following a review?

Following Council's review, you will receive an ALR review letter that will confirm if your proposed development:

  • is satisfactory and ready for lodgement as an ADA,
  • is not eligible for Council's ADA service, or
  • requires further changes.

Further information on how to proceed will be included in your ALR review letter.
