DA Conditions Clearance

When Development Approval has been issued, it typically comes with a list of conditions. A number of these conditions require clearance from Planning Services before lodging an application for a Building Permit or Occupancy Permit (as required by the Building Act 2011 and Certificate of Design Compliance).

DA Conditions Clearance Application process

Your conditions clearance application will need to include:

• Development Approval Conditions matrix (in Microsoft Word format) indicating the condition and it has been met. Please see pro forma for an example
• Any other drawings or documentation required by the conditions of the Development Approval
• Set of Architectural drawings as they will be submitted with the Building Permit Application.

It is recommended to have your attachments ready prior to initiating the online process.

Applicants will receive an acknowledgement email after submission. Your application will undergo a preliminary check and may include a request for additional information or details. Once the application requirements have been met, you will be advised that your application has been accepted and be issued an invoice. Please refer to the Fees and Charges Schedule below for service fee.

Please allow an average of 30 working days for processing. 

An Urban Planner will check the matrix, plans and documents meet the conditions set out in the relevant Development Approval. A letter confirming clearance of conditions will then be issued.   

IMPORTANT: Once you have received your letter confirming clearance of conditions, you can then begin your Building or Occupancy Permit. It is important you attach this letter to your application. 

Please note that clearance of conditions is given on the basis that no new or inconsistent information will be provided with the relevant permit application. If new or inconsistent information is found on the relevant permit application, the permit application may be refused.
