MidCoast, NSW successfully piloted a fast-track process for development applications
MidCoast, NSW Fast-Track Development Application Pilot
A three-month pilot allowed applicants with simple building projects to request expedited approvals. Qualifying applications needed to show no substantial constraints on construction nor required approval by neighbors. The fast-track process applied to applications for single-story buildings, garages, and pools. An assigned development officer provided assistance to applicants from initial contact to the final decision.
