1. A Registered CSS Account<\/h3>

All applications to the Department of Planning must be submitted via our online portal known as the Customer Self Service (CSS).\u00a0<\/p>

“But I’ve hired an Agent, why do I need a CSS account?”\u00a0<\/em><\/h6>

It is our Department’s mandate to ensure that Applicants and property owners are kept fully informed through-out the application process. Registering a CSS account not only gives you online access to all the details of your application, but also confirms that we have the correct contact details for you.<\/p>

2. Property Owner Signature<\/h3>

Property Owner signature on the online application OR a letter of authorization from the property owner, allowing the Agent to submit on their behalf.\u00a0<\/p>

3. Construction Drawings<\/h3>
All drawings shall be drawn to scale and adequately dimensioned to enable the building to be constructed. In all cases, the plans must show a differentiation between the existing and proposed work (e.g hatching, shading, highlighting).\u00a0<\/div>
The submission of false and\/or inaccurate information documents for approval may invalidate any permit that is issued.<\/strong><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
