(3) How many development applications has ACTPLA received that are not yet processed.
Mr Barr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The average time taken for development applications lodged and approved in the period 31 March 2008 – 30 November 2008
Code track – 7.9 business days
Merit track – 37.8 business days
Impact track - average time not available as only 1 impact track DA has been lodged and this was on 30 November.
For the period 31 March – 30 November 2008 the shortest time taken for approval of a code track application was 1 working day and the longest time was 50 working days.
For the period 31 March – 30 November 2008 the shortest time taken for approval of a merit track application was 13 working days and the longest time was 129 working days.
(2) For the period 31 March to 30 November 2008
272 Code track application have been approved
704 merit track applications have been approved
0 Impact track application have been approved
363 single residential dwellings were exempt from development approval
(3) On 30 November 2008
11 code track DAs still under assessment
525 merit track DAs still under assessment
1 Impact track DA still under assessment
Each year just before the Christmas/New Year period the Authority receives a higher than average number of Development Applications for assessment. Understandably, this substantial increase in lodgements can lead to an increase in the number of working days for decisions to be made.
