IMPORTANT NOTICE
PLANNING REFORM | Changes to the DA Lodgement Time Frames & Assessment Process
Statement of Expectations Order
The Minister for Planning and Public Spaces issued a Statement of Expectations Order on 1 July 2024 requiring Councils to assess Development Applications in the shortest possible timeframe in accordance with the DPHI Faster Assessments program.
Listed below are business rules that Council will be applying to assist in meeting the Minister’s Order.
After lodging your application
City of Ryde will not provide extended timeframes or multiple opportunities to amend the application during the assessment process. If a pre-lodgement meeting is held, and Council’s advice is not taken, Council will not request amended plans or additional information following lodgement of a development application.
If matters raised by the Council or a Request for Information (RFI) is not addressed within the specified time, Council will process the application and determine it based on the information provided.
By following this advice, you can help streamline the development assessment process.
Development Applications, applications for Complying Development Certificates, Construction Certificates, Subdivision Certificates, Occupations Certificates, Appointment of the Council as the Principal Certifying Authority, Building Information Certificates together with Post Development Certificates as issued by Private Certifiers are all to be lodged through the NSW Planning Portal. Please visit the Planning Portal for more information.
