Viewing applications

Any application in SPEAR can be viewed in a public search, without having to obtain a username or password in SPEAR.

The type of application and its processing state, will determine the level of information available through the Public Search screen.

To view an application in more detail, including the nominated property, the nature of the proposal and the name of the Applicant Contact, click on the hyperlinked property name for that application.

Lodging an objection

Members of the public are able to lodge submissions (either supporting or objection to a proposal) within SPEAR. Before you can lodge a submission in SPEAR you must register so SPEAR can email you a username and password. Once you have your username and password, you must log in, find the relevant application, and attach your submission.

It is important to remember that by lodging a submission in SPEAR, the submission will be viewable by members of the public, the Responsible Authority, Referral Authorities and the Applicant Contact. If you lodge an objection, SPEAR will notify you when a decision is made by the Responsible Authority.

Objections can only be made through SPEAR to applications being advertised.

To register with SPEAR go to the Public section of the website.
