Features

Custom contact email for building occupation/ completion

The Council/SPC user defined email address for building notifications will appear on the Decision Notification Form's Building Occupation/Completion section.

Rectification decision comment field visibility

The rectification decision comment detail is now visible on the Building Notification screen for the Relevant Authority and Accredited Professional (Building Certifier).

This enhancement improves the efficiency and accuracy of the rectification process by providing critical feedback to authorised personnel while maintaining confidentiality.

Building Notification enhancements

An email notification is sent to the applicant when building consent is granted and building indemnity insurance has not yet been provided. The email advises that indemnity insurance must be provided in DAP prior to the notice of building works commencing.

An applicant is required to enter a reason where they did not enter into a domestic work contract and are not exempt from holding insurance.

Planning consent “on hold” feature

The system now allows a Planning Consent to be placed on hold after the consultation process has closed.

Fixes

Development application – application contacts

Adding or modifying an application contact (i.e. applicant, primary contact, invoice contact, or land owner), changing the contact style (e.g. individual to business), or selecting contact style 'Council' no longer resets the selected contact type.

Development application – document date distributed

For contacts requiring postal correspondence. The entered ‘Date Distributed’ for a selected document is now saved when the document is updated.

Development application council contacts

When 'council' is an application contact (applicant, invoice contact, primary contact, or land owner) the contact's name field now displays the name of the council in the following places:

  • Submit Development Application pages - Applicants, Primary Contact, Invoice Contact and Land Owner
  • Application contacts
  • Current and new Beta dashboards for relevant authorities
  • DALite
  • DAP Reports
  • PlanSA Public Register

Edit consent elements – purpose of the development now available

When editing planning consent elements from the application summary page, the purpose of development checkbox is now available when council is the applicant and/or land owner.

Electronic lodgement fee – council development is not revenue raising

The Electronic Lodgement Fee (ELF) no longer automatically defaults for the second consent when the applicant and/or land owner is council and development is not revenue-raising as determined on assessing the first consent.

Withdraw application – referral body notified

The referral body is now informed when a development application with a state government agency agreement (pre-lodgement agreement) is withdrawn.
