NSW Housing Code

The NSW Housing Code came into effect on 27 February 2009.

Under the NSW Housing Code, certain types of development are exempt development and can be carried out without development consent, or can be undertaken as complying development with a Complying Development Certificate, rather than development consent.

For further information click here or contact Council on 9748 9999.

Electronic Development Application (EDA)

Strathfield Council has launched eDA, a fully secure online development application lodgement and tracking service. eDA allows the tracking of DAs for the entire DA lifecycle – from initial application lodging through to assessment.

Anyone with an internet connection can submit and then access their eDA at any time and can also complete supporting documentation required for complying development and construction certificates.

Customers can also log in from anywhere at any time to see how their application is progressing. At key milestone points, customers also receive email messages informing them of their application’s progress.

Access to the tracking service is via eda.strathfield.nsw.gov.au.

For further information please contact Council’s Development Assessment Team on 9748 9935 or 9748 9981.
