• material change of use
• operational works
• reconfiguring a lot, and
• concurrence agency referral.

Building Applications, External Certifier and Plumbing permits will be available on Development.i within 24 hours from lodgement or submission or decision. Access to documents and plans will be not be available at this time.

Submissions or comments can be received on certain applications types, however this service is not available on Development.i at this time. For more information, about making a submission or comment on a development application, go to the have your say on development applications page of Councils website.

Applications may be represented by one or a number of dots on the map. These dots represent that the application is in some way linked to the land parcel.

If an application is lodged over one land parcel, it is represented by one dot. If an application covers a number of parcels of land, a dot is placed over each of these parcels.

When a property is subdivided, historical or current application dots are distributed across all the new land parcels as they have a historical connection to the newly created parcels of land. This can sometimes cause some confusion when looking back through the years of past applications, where large parcels of land have been divided.

Development.i provides a spatial representation of properties affected by development applications lodged with Redland City Council local government area. While this provides a great way to view and analyse application activity, these are many reasons this does not represent construction activity.

• Sometimes a submitted application does not always translate into actual construction, or it may take some time for construction to commence.
• Council is not the assessment manager for Development Applications lodged and decided within a Priority Development Areas. For more information about Priority Development Areas or Development Applications within these areas, visit Development Queensland
• An application may be represented by multiple dots on the screen if:
  • it is lodged over multiple parcels e.g. one dot per parcel, and/or
  • the parcel of land it was originally lodged over has since been subdivided, wherein the application is then distributed over the newly created lots.
• If an application is lodged over a multi-story unit complex, the application count is repeated at that point for each unit it is associated with. As such, you may see applications repeated on some high-rise units, increasing the number on the dot.

All applications on the system provide basic information, such as:

• application number
• address
• description of the proposal, and
• assessment status.

However, associated documents and plans are only published for core development applications in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act 2016. Core applications include, applications for:

• material change of use
• operational works
• reconfiguring a lot, and
• concurrence agency referral.

If you want to view development application documents or plans that are not available on Development.i, you may be required to submit and pay the applicable fee for a property search. For further information go to the property searches page of Councils website.

Development.i does not replace the need to undertake due diligence checks when making investment decisions. If you are undertaking conveyancing, development or building certification, it is recommended that Council property searches are sought such as by requesting a Planning and Development Certificate.
