From 1 October 2018, Cumberland Council will be moving to issuing determinations and stamped plans in electronic form. To allow this to occur, Council will require all lodgements to include electronic copies of the completed development application form, plans and all supporting documents.
Applications without a current Development Application form and/or correctly formatted USB will not be accepted.
All applications must be accompanied with the correct number of documents indicated as per the relevant checklist, involving all plans, reports and other documentation lodged with the application.
The electronic device will be returned to you once your application has been finalised containing your electronic determination and associated stamped plans.
If you have any further questions, please contact Cumberland Council Customer Contact Centre on 8757 9000.
1. PDF Format - All documents, plans, application forms etc. must be submitted as separate PDF files for each document or plan or application form e.g. site plans must be on one pdf document, elevations must be on another separate pdf document. Pdf documents can consist of numerous pages, in accordance with Council's file naming protocol. Security settings must not be applied to electronic documents, this includes passwords.
