Getting started
- Details
Online development assessment assists the applicant to:
- prepare development applications as per state requirements (i.e. site selection, identifying land based triggers) and completing Integrated Development Assessment System (IDAS) forms through guided online checklists
- electronically lodge a development application direct to participating assessment managers
- pay fees electronically
- track the progress of an application through IDAS
- maintain efficient online communication between all parties.
Electronic lodgement of development applications is supported by a growing number of councils (as assessment managers).

Organisation (with options for multiple offices and users):
Registering as an organisation is beneficial when there is more than one person preparing applications within the same organisation. This allows users to keep track of various applications entered by different offices/business units and staff members.
- manage applications made by multiple offices/business units
- manage users within offices
- assign applications across offices/users.
Organisations are required to nominate an administrator to register and manage applications. The administrator can then register office locations/business units and staff within the organisation.
- Complete the following fields - email, first name, password (must be between 6 and 12 characters long), confirm password.
- Select Your role from the drop down menu.
- Click Register.

Removing registered users
Registered users within an organisation can be removed from the system by the administrator via the Manage organisation tab. It is recommended that all applications are re-assigned before removing a user who has left the organisation or changed roles.
Cancelling your account
If you are the administrator within the organisation or a single user and you want to cancel your account, we will need to remove you from the system.
To cancel your account, complete the feedback form.
