Email lodgement of Generally in Accordance (GIA) applications

To improve customer experience, the City of Gold Coast now accepts Generally in Accordance (GIA) applications by email.

To avoid delays assessing applications, please complete and attach the following supporting documentation in PDF format to the email:

• Generally in Accordance request form (please complete the ‘Original approval number (MCU/ROL)’ and ‘The City’s reference file number (PN)’ fields).

• copy of the relevant original approval (including the decision notice, and approved drawings – including any plan of development and any residential design code)

• new plans and/or a detailed summary of proposed changes

• business partner name and number but only if the application fee is to be charged to a Business partner account.

Email applications to: dart@goldcoast.qld.gov.au

Council will check emailed GIA submissions to ensure they have been lodged correctly and then issue online payment requests for application fees. There is a range of payment options available.

Please note: applications will not be processed until Council receives payment in full.
