How to complete the Reporting - Codes step:

1. When you reach the Codes section of the Reporting step, you are required to answer the codes that you selected as 'Relevant & included in Planning Report' at the Codes step.  

Note: All codes that are applicable to your development application will be listed within the codes section of the Reporting step. Only the codes you deemed 'Relevant & included in Planning Report' will show the assessment criteria 

2. Urpla separates the local and state assessment criteria into the following:

• Zone,
• Overlay,
• Land Use,
• Other, and 
• SDAP

3. Working top to bottom on the left navigation panel, select your first code listed e.g. Zone. 

4. Depending on your category of assessment determined at the Categories step each code will present you with the following:

5. Use the drop-down arrow  to view your first PO/AO.

6. Read the first criteria and answer the question "How does the proposal meet the code?".

Note: Use the response library, located at every discussion text box, to help answer how the proposal meets the code. To learn more about response library, view this article. 

7. Select from the options available on the bottom navigation panel, Complies with AO1, Complies with PO1, Not applicable or Not compliant. 

Complies with PO: If you do not meet the AO, and require assessment against the Performance Solution, you may want to discuss further within the report. Check the box "Check this to discuss this performance outcome in detail in the report?", Urpla will add a new heading under 'Alternate solutions complying with performance outcomes' in this code's discussion section so you can discuss it further.

Not compliant: If you do not meet the PO, and require assessment against the code purpose and overall outcome, you may want to discuss further within the report. Urpla will add a new heading under 'Assessment against code purpose/overall outcomes' in this codes discussion section so you can discuss further. 

8. Once you have selected your answer you may wish you discuss further in the text box below. The text written in this discussion textbox will produce within the code templates, which will append to Part 2: Supporting documents. 

9. Once you  the app will automatically take you to the next assessment criteria below.

10. Continue this process until you complete all the assessment criteria of the code.

How to complete the Purpose & Alt. solutions discussion:

Use the drop-down arrowlocated next to the code name to view the Purpose & Alt. solutions.

Alternate solutions complying with Performace outcomes

While completing the codes assessment criteria you identified that you would like to discuss the performance outcome in further detail, each assessment criteria will automatically populate as a heading within the 'Alternate solutions complying with Performance outcomes' discussion. 

1. Select the first alternate solution heading in the list.

Note: Select the view code feature located above the subject heading to roll down the assessment criteria of which you are assessing OR select the view code feature located in the top right corner to view the whole code.

2. Discuss in the text box provided why the proposal does not comply with the acceptable outcome, and how the solution satisfies the performance solution.

3. Once complete  and move on to the alternate solution. 

Note: Use the Add button to create new headings to discuss alternate solutions complying with performance outcomes. 

Assessment against code purpose/overall outcomes

While completing the codes assessment criteria you identified that one or more of the assessment criteria was not compliant with a PO. The subject matter of each assessment criteria will automatically populate as a heading within the 'Assessment against code purpose/overall outcomes' discussion. 

1. Select the first subject matter heading in the list.

Note: Select the Open code feature located above the subject heading to view the code purpose and overall outcomes to help make your assessment.

2. Discuss in the text box provided why the proposal meets the overall outcomes of the same subject matter.

Note: Alternatively address the whole code by adding the code purpose and overall outcomes table located in the Response library - System answers. 

3. Once complete  and move on to the alternate solution. 

Note: Use the Add button to create new headings to discuss the code purpose and overall outcomes.
