Validating status
What is this status?
Validating is an Authority status, where the Authority can complete the preliminary assessment of the development application and request further action of the Applicant if required.
The software automatically populates the relevant Applicant development application information and material into a customised workflow. The software filters out the irrelevant applicant information, allowing the Authority to focus on their preliminary assessment of the application.

How do applications move into this status?
Applications can move into Validating status in two ways. Firstly, applications will be assigned during the Awaiting assignment status, they will then automatically move into Validating status. Secondly, applications will be moving out of Further action status into Validating status after an applicant has responded to an Action notice.
