Checklists and Application Forms

Below is a list of forms and checklists to help you prepare a development application (DA). If you're not sure which forms to use, get in touch with us for development advice.

Every development application (DA) needs to include a Statement of Environmental Effects (SEE). There isn’t a set form for SEEs; our Statement of Environmental Effects page explains what you need to include.

Please note, to prepare a Development Application you will need to apply online through the NSW Planning Portal. There is no longer a hard copy form.

Use the checklist below that relates to your development, and attach the relevant forms which can be found in the next section of this page.
