State Mapping Resources

If you are planning on lodging a development application for Assessable Development (i.e. a Material Change of Use, Reconfiguring a Lot and Operational Works) with Council, it is important to determine if your application will require referral as part of the Development Assessment Process to the State Assessment and Referral Agency (SARA) or a third party agency identified within Schedule 10 of the Planning Regulation 2017.  

When preparing a development application for Assessable Development, it is the applicant’s responsibility to identify whether there are any referrals associated with your application.

The State Government has online Development Assessment Mapping System (DAMS) which will assist you in identifying if your application will require referral to SARA or a third party referral agency (i.e. for example Powerlink Queensland).   

The DAMS Mapping Resource can be accessed by clicking on the button below:
