Document glossary
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
- 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.
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
