eDA councils
- Details
As assessment managers, Queensland local government plays an important role in the development assessment process. eDA streamlines the lodgement and payment process to councils while providing a mechanism to track and communicate the progress of development applications through to the development assessment outcome.
Participating in eDA is voluntary for all councils. With the time-savings achieved by moving from a paper-based to an electronic process, it is anticipated that more councils will accept electronic development applications through eDA.
eDA can still be used to prepare applications for lodgement to councils who are yet to participate. Simply print the application and lodge manually.
The following assessment managers currently accept electronic lodgement of applications:
- Bundaberg Regional Council
- Burdekin Shire Council
- Cairns Regional Council
- Cassowary Coast Regional Council
