NSW’s DCS Spatial Services latest planning system update has seen the enabling of 3D digital mapping for subdivision and strata plans through the NSW Planning Portal.
The digitisation of subdivision and strata-related land developments is intended to transform how applicants and assessing authorities visualise applications via the Portal.
“Thanks to the work in connecting subdivision and strata related digital mapping to the NSW Planning Portal, people can better understand the impact of Development Applications and Subdivision Certificate Applications while reducing the time it takes to manually review and digitise information, realising a more efficient and customer friendly experience,” said Spatial Services Executive Director, Narelle Underwood.
“Draft strata plans can now be visualised in 3D which improves the ability of assessing authorities such as local councils and private certifiers to interpret what can be very complex plans in paper form, enhance quality checks and enable more effective community engagement.”
The online platform enables users to access planning services and information from anywhere at any time.
“It is a convenient alternative to paper-based transactions, which can only take place during business hours and is helping to streamline and enhance existing processes to improve the planning experience for all stakeholders across NSW,” said Underwood.
The Planning Platform is part of the ePlanning Program funded by the DCS Digital Restart Fund (DRF).
The NSW Government has budgeted $2.1 billion over four years for digital transformation projects through the DRF, targeting solutions which create efficiencies for customers.
