Access report

Demonstrates how the proposed development provides easy access and useable areas for everyone.

Acid sulphate soils report

Many low-lying coastal areas have naturally occurring materials known as acid sulphate soils. When these materials are disturbed and exposed to oxygen, sulphuric acid is formed. The report analyses the presence and extent of acid sulphate soils.

Acoustic report

Where noise is a major design issue, an acoustic consultant will need to create a report.

Air quality report

For proposals that may involve sensitive land uses with a frontage to a classified road  and potentially air polluting developments.

The report should include an assessment of the ambient air quality on the site including carbon monoxide, hazardous substances (lead), inspirable dust, volatile organise compounds (benzene) and total bacteria as yeast and mould.

Air quality impact assessment report

Required for certain developments in close proximity to the Cross City Tunnel ventilation stack . It must be prepared by a suitably qualified person and identify the predicted concentration of nitrous oxide at all sensitive receptors. The report should include an assessment of the impact of the development on people using it due to emissions from the ventilation stack.

Arborist report

Details how the development will impact any trees on or near the site. The report must be prepared in line with our guidelines.

Archaeological baseline report

Details how development will be carried out on land that contains an item of archaeological interest.

BASIX certificate

BASIX, the Building Sustainability Index , is a web-based planning tool designed to assess the potential performance of residential development against water consumption and greenhouse gas emission targets prescribed by the NSW Government.

The self-assessment tool is designed to be used by building applicants and others involved in designing residential development proposals. Applicants are required to complete a BASIX assessment before an application can be lodged.

BASIX certificates require different commitments to be shown on the plans at different stages of the development, either ‘On DA plans’ or ‘On CC/CDC plans’, with some commitments needing a ‘Certifier Check’. Plans must be consistent with the BASIX certificates at all times.

BCA performance requirements compliance statement

Prepared by a suitably qualified certifier, the document usually:

• demonstrates the classification and rise in stores of the building
• identifies the type of construction
• confirms the development will comply with the performance requirements of the Building Code of Australia or identifies the areas that don’t comply and details any alternate solutions.

Biodiversity assessment method letter

A letter from the City of Sydney to advise the relevant agency about a decision regarding an applicant’s biodiversity development assessment report and request to reduce the biodiversity credits for a development site.

Biodiversity assessment report

May be required for a development that involves the clearing, removal or alteration of native vegetation/bushland and other animal habitats.

The report identifies how the applicant proposes to avoid and minimise impacts and the offsets required for the likely biodiversity impacts of the development or clearing proposal.

The report must be prepared by a suitably qualified ecologist .

Car parking and vehicle access

Details of the proposed arrangements for car parking, accessible parking, pedestrian footways, turning, manoeuvring and allocations.

Clause 4.6 variation request

Where a proposal doesn’t comply with the development standards in the relevant Local Environmental Plan , the City of Sydney may consider an exception where strict compliance is unreasonable or unnecessary.

Competitive design process report

Details the method undertaken in stage 1 of the development application.

Conservation management plan or strategy

Provides guidance and information to protect our natural, cultural and historic heritage.

Contamination / remediation action plan

Provides the recommended clean-up criteria and proposed measures to reduce risks and achieve the clean-up objectives for the site.

Cost summary report

Forecasts the resources and associated costs of a development. These reports must explain the methodology used to calculate the estimate. The value of works estimate must include the value of costs such as labour and the value of materials and fixtures to be used, as opposed to what the developer is paying for them. For example, if labour is being provided free, that work still has a value which must be accurately included.

Design for environmental performance report

Completing the City of Sydney's design for environmental performance report with an online template is required for most larger developments, including apartments, group housing, offices, hotels, childcare, retail and industrial uses.

Our template covers how your application addresses environmental sustainability and efficiency through design, technology and performance rating solutions.

The online template is accompanied by an offline Word version you can use in the early planning stages of a project. You can save work in the template and return to it later. The template can also be shared with others.

The template replaces the long format environmental sustainability reports. These reports should only be lodged with development applications when they describe new designs or technology required for our assessment.

People with experience in design, environmental sustainability or urban planning can complete the template.

Design verification statement

Prepared by a qualified designer for a residential apartment development. The document confirms design quality principles and verifies the objectives of the apartment design guide have been achieved.

Economic impact assessment

Outlines the impact of the proposal on the vitality and viability of existing retail centres within a certain area of the proposed development.

Electromagnetic report

Assesses the potential exposure impact of telecommunications infrastructure and must include how the proposal complies with Australian standards.

Elevations and sections

These drawings clearly document the proposed works. They must be drawn to scale and include an elevation of the development viewed from each direction and at least 1 section showing:

• date, plan number, amendment number
• building facade, windows, roof profile
• external finishes such as wall, roof, window, door and fence materials, paint colours
• window and door schedule showing all dimensions
• existing and finished ground levels, floor levels, ceiling levels and roofline levels show driveway grade
• chimneys, flues, exhaust vents and ducts showing height in relation to adjoining roof levels
• retaining walls and fences indicating height
• extent of excavation or filling of the site.

If your application is for a new building or for major alterations/additions involving changes to floor levels and/or entrances, sections are required through footpaths and roads for all building frontages. Longitudinal and cross sections must show the existing and proposed levels and gradients of the footpaths on each building frontage. 

Environmental impact assessment

Describes the effects for proposed activities on the environment.

Erosion and sediment control plan

Details how the site will be managed to prevent stormwater pollution, erosion and sedimentation.

Shows the following:

Basic site information

• True north point
• Scale showing ratio and bar scale
• Date, plan number and name of person who has prepared the plan

It also includes a detailed assessment of the proposed development having regard to all policies and planning controls that apply to the land or type of development.

The statement includes any factor of your proposal that can’t be readily shown by your plans. A high-quality and well-designed statement is an important component to a development application. It supports your plans and drawings.

For applications that don’t propose any work, such as change of use applications, a statement is still required. The statement must outline how the use is permissible, how it complies with the planning polices and how it will operate such as number of employees, hours of operation, vehicle access and loading and waste management.

Stormwater drainage concept plan

Illustrates how stormwater runoff from your site will be managed. It is essential to incorporate your drainage design in the initial design process as problems with discharging stormwater runoff from your site may require a redesign.

Sites that fall away from the street frontage may have difficulty discharging stormwater runoff to the street, requiring a drainage easement to be negotiated through a neighbouring property to discharge the stormwater.

The drainage design must be prepared by a registered civil engineer and include provision for on-site detention where necessary.

Stormwater quality assessment

Applicable for sites over 1000 sqm.

Demonstrates that the development will reduce the baseline annual pollutant load for:

• litter and vegetation larger than 5mm by 90%
• total suspended solids by 85%

• total nitrogen by 45%.

The assessment is to be prepared by a suitably qualified engineer with experience in water sensitive urban design and include:

• modelling of pollutant load standards with an industry standard water quality model
• MUSIC e LINK certificate/report. The City of Sydney has adopted MUSIC Link which automatically sets the water quality parameters in the MUSIC program
• water sensitive urban design used to achieve the post-development pollutant load standards
• maintenance schedules that require maintenance or full replacement including the likely recycling or
• disposal location of waste.

Structural engineers report
