Development

Includes all applications and requests included in the application type filter.

• material change of use
• operational works
• plans of sub division, and
• reconfiguring a lot.

Building

Includes application types assessed by council and those assessed by private building certifiers that are required to then lodge documentation to council. These include:

• building private certification
• concurrency agency referral, and
• development permit for building works.

Plumbing

Includes plumbing and drainage works applications.

Use filter options are determined by the type of application group selected e.g. development or building. This filter is not yet available for plumbing application groups.

The filter has two levels - a higher level in dark blue, and in many cases, sub categories are provided for the higher levels underneath in lighter blue.

Development applications are divided broadly by the activity groups listed in the Redland City Council Planning Scheme 2017, refer to planning scheme schedule 1 definitions - SC1.3.1 and SC1.3.2. The sub categories available is not exhaustive in that it does not try to cover all definitions in the planning scheme, but rather, provides selected categories that are common interest to the community. If you would like to see other categories please contact council's development services to provide feedback. When using this filter, note that not every development application received by council is classified by use which may limit your results.

Building uses are divided by the Building Code of Australia (BC) classes of buildings. When using this filter, note that not every building application received by council is classified by class which may limit your results.

The date range filter provides the ability to refine results based on a period. The period can be based on the record create date or decided date of an application or request.

Approving plans of subdivision

Applications of this nature include the prefix POS, APS.

Refers to council's final approval of a plan of subdivision. It is also informally known as a "plan of survey" or the "plan sealing" process. For example: an application for a reconfiguration to create a hundred lot residential estate is approved by council. Subsequent applications for operational works applications related to the reconfiguration are also approved by council. The developer constructs the estate and when it is finished submits the plan of subdivision to council for approval. Council checks that all the reconfiguration and operational works conditions have been met and then approves the plan. The plan is then submitted to the Titles Office for registration. When the plan is registered in the Titles Office, the lots are officially created.

Operational works

Applications of this nature include the prefix OPW, OP, EC, DW, LW.

Development applications for OPW require assessment under council's planning scheme and/or State legislation. An OPW includes a wide variety of works, such as:

• excavation
• clearing vegetation
• tidal works on a site, and
• often are works related to approved material change of use and reconfiguring a lot applications.

Reconfiguring a lot

Applications of this nature include the prefix RAL, ROL, SB.

Development applications for RAL require assessment under council's planning scheme. A RAL is the process for the creation of new lots by subdividing or rearranging the boundaries of existing lots. A reconfiguration also involves creating access easements.

Material change of use

Applications of this nature include the prefix MCU, MC, MCSS.

Development applications for MCU require assessment under council's planning scheme. In general terms, an MCU is the start of a new use, or an increase in the intensity or scale of an existing use on a site.

Superseded planning scheme

Applications of this nature include the prefix SPS.

SPS applications are requests to council to assess a development proposal under a superseded planning scheme i.e. previous version.

Private building certification

Applications of this nature include the prefix BX.

This application type represents statutory documentation submitted by private building certifiers to local government, Stages include lodgement of the notice of engagement (NOE), approval and inspection documentation.

It is worth noting that in some cases applications do not progress further than the NOE i.e. a building approval is not issued, therefore these applications remain at NOE stage and appear under the "In Progress" application query.

As such, when searching under the "In Progress" option for this application type, the results will return applications that may not progress further and will remain on council's system unless any further documentation is submitted by the private certifier.

Building works

Applications of this nature include the prefix BD and BA.

Refer to applications for building work assessed by Redland City Council.

Concurrency agency referral

Applications of this nature include the prefix CAR.

These include building applications for houses and outbuildings referred to council for assessment against matters such as design and siting. This also includes structures that do not comply with the planning scheme, but are exempt from needing a planning application. Refer to Schedule 6, Part 2, Section 2(2) of the Planning Regulation 2017.

Development permit for building works

Applications of this nature include the prefix DBW, BW, BWP.

Refers to building works not associated with an MCU but significant enough to trigger a development application under the provisions of the planning scheme.

Plumbing and drainage works

Applications of this nature include the prefix PD.

Includes applications for plumbing and drainage work.

Exemption Certificates

Applications of this nature include the prefix of EXC.

An exemption certificate is intended to be used as a tool to address the inappropriate categorisation of development.An exemption certificate may be issued under the Planning Act 2016 or the Queensland Heritage Act 1992 and remove the requirement to obtain a development approval.

Note: this filter is most notable on the development application type.

Code

Code assessable applications are assessed against the relevant assessment benchmarks set out in council's planning scheme. Where the application meets criteria, it will be approved. If it does not meet some criteria, that part of the application can be refused or approved with conditions. This type of application does not require public notification.

Impact

Impact assessable applications must be assessed against council's planning scheme as a whole, to the extent relevant. These applications must be publicly notified to take into account the community's views and provides third party appeal rights to any submitters.

Other

For the purpose of Development.i the "Other" category is used to capture any application that has been received that did not trigger code or impact assessment under the planning scheme.

Note: this filter includes minor changes of code and impact applications.

Change applications

Refers to an application to council to consider changes to the original approval, including changes to conditions and/or changes to approved plans. As well as being described as change applications in their description, these applications can be recognised by having a suffix decimal of .01, .02 etc. at the end of their application reference numbers.

Extension to relevant period/extension application

An application to apply for an extension to the currency period for a development approval in accordance with Section 86 of the Planning Act 2016.
