About this step

  • The applicant’s name is required as part of building the development application.

  • The software gives you the option to invite your applicant to the application to fill in their details – saving you time, lowering double handling, and eliminating the risk of entering the wrong information, ultimately providing a high level of quality assurance.

  • Your invited applicant will only see the applicant step in the workflow, they won't be able to edit the rest of your application.

  • Alternatively, you can enter the applicant details yourself using the form.

  • If you’re using an existing/previous applicant for the application, the software will automatically pre-populate their saved details for you.

Applicant/s details will become visible in the town planning report (Part 2 Supporting documents) and within the Planning Summary.
