The NSW Government has launched the NSW Planning Portal, designed as a self-serve, centralised portal to manage & process all planning & development applications.
All Development Applications (DA’s) are now managed through the NSW Planning Portal. To engage with Illawarra Building Certifiers, you first need to lodge your application, via the NSW Planning Portal and nominate Illawarra Building Certifiers as your appointed Private Certifier.
If this is your first time using the NSW Planning Portal, information on how to register for, and navigate the portal can be found here.
To assist you with navigating the Development Application process, the NSW Planning Portal has a dedicated Help & Support section, with How to Guides, Quick Reference Guides & FAQ’s to support you with your application.
Below are some helpful links, to help you get started:
