Details Tab

The Details screen provides access to the documentation provided for an application as well as an area to complete actions to progress an application.

Navigating in the Detail Screen

There are several section headings on the screen and these can include the following:

• Applicant Contact
• Responsible Authority, First Responsible Authority and/or Local Government
• Referral Authorities
• Online Objectors
• Land Use Victoria
• VCAT

Under each of these headings are the documents and actions completed by each organisation, as well as outstanding actions against an organisation.

The 'Land Use Victoria' heading is only displayed for subdivision applications once the application has been lodged at Land Use Victoria. The headings 'First Responsible Authority' and 'Local Government' are only ever displayed for planning permit applications that have been lodged with the Minister for Planning.

To view the documents added by each organisation, click on the heading and the view will be expanded (click again to hide the view).

Actions that have not yet been performed (either mandatory or optional) for your organisation are displayed under a sub-heading labelled "Actions".
