NSW Planning Portal

Murray River Council uses electronic lodgement of Development Applications (DA), Construction Certificates (CC), Complying Development Certificates (CDC) and a number of other applications, including Section 68's, via the NSW Planning Portal.

This online service allows applicants to track each application all in one place. 


How to access the NSW Planning Portal:

Register for a NSW Planning Portal account to start your application and receive a single secure login.

This will enable you to access your dashboard, view, manage, track and progress applications, pay state agency fees and submit documents. You will also receive email notifications at key stages of the application process.
