Once your application is prepared according to the relevant guidelines and checklists, you can submit your application online via the NSW Planning Portal. 

The following applications must be submitted to Council through the NSW Planning Portal:

• Development Applications
• Section 4.55 Modification Applications
• Complying Development Certificates
• Construction Certificates
• Occupation Certificates
• Subdivision Certificates
• Appointments of Council as a Principal Certifier

The above listed applications will no longer be accepted in person at our Customer Service Centres.

Please note: Central Coast Council is currently experiencing longer processing times for development applications. Processing timeframes for development assessments have averaged 89 days over the last 12 months. However, processing timeframes will vary depending on the complexity of each application.
