Preparing a quality development application and checking that it is properly made is key to ensuring it can be fully assessed in a timely manner. If an application is ‘not properly made’ as defined by the Planning Act 2016’, it can result in time delays, and the application being unable to be accepted. An application for subdivision is referred to as a Reconfiguring a Lot application.
A properly made application complies with the legislative requirements in Section 51 of the Planning Act 2016 and must include the following:
Schedule 6 Planning Scheme Policies (PSP) Section SC6.1.6 of the Planning sets out additional information requirements triggered development applications.
The following may be required to be submitted to support a development application:

These development applications are required to be lodged to these agencies for their comment as well. Other agencies can include the Queensland Fire and Emergency Service, or Ergon Energy. The Planning Regulation 2017 sets out when another agency is required to have input into an application.
Some of these triggers can include, but not limited to:
The applicant will be required to contact the relevant referral agency to determine their requirements.
