How does it work?

Express Development Applications (Express DA’s) are exclusively available within the Gold Coast, but are very similar to Risksmart Applications seen in Logan and Brisbane. Express DA’s are an expediated application offered by the City of Gold Coast Council that usually results in a decision within 10 – 15 working days.

They also come with a 20% discount on the Council application fee. We will undertake a detailed review of any proposal, prior to recommending we utilise the Express DA service. We also have great relationships with Council officers within the Express DA team that allows us to ensure eligibility prior to lodgement, if necessary.

Examples of land uses that maybe eligible for an Express DA include
Dual Occupancies Secondary Dwellings Multiple Dwellings (up to 10 Dwellings) Food and Drink Outlet Health Care Service Combined Development Applications for Small Lots and a Dwelling House Low Impact Industry Shop

Align can look after the entire Express DA process for you including; organising plans, survey works, as well as any other expert consultants that may be required.
