IDAS checklists
IDAS checklists are available to assist applicants to determine if their development is an assessable development under Schedule 3 of the Sustainable Planning Regulation 2009. Note that the checklists are a guide only and should be read in conjunction with the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 and the Sustainable Planning Regulation 2009.
If a development is not an assessable development, it will not require the lodgement of a development application. Completing and submitting IDAS checklists with a development application are not mandatory.
