IDAS forms, guides and checklists - SPA Print E-mail
Please check the lodgement date of your application:
  • For applications lodged before 18 December 2009, please go to IDAS forms - Integrated Planning Act.
  • For applications lodged on or after 18 December 2009, please use the following IDAS forms - Sustainable Planning Act below.
For all development applications, you must:
  • complete application details - IDAS form 1
  • complete any other forms relevant to your application
  • provide any mandatory supporting information identified on the forms as being required to accompany your application.

Although it is not a mandatory requirement for your application, it is recommended that you complete the IDAS checklists to assist you with determining whether a development permit is required, which forms you need to complete for your application, and whether there are any referral agencies for your application.

The IDAS checklists can be submitted with your application as additional information. Guides are provided to assist you in completing the IDAS forms.

The IDAS forms are the approved forms under the Act and must be used when making an application. There are a number of template forms that relate to the IDAS process (e.g. changing an approval) which have been developed by the department. These template forms are not mandatory.

All IDAS forms can be completed electronically using Smart eDA.
