How can I create, progress and submit an amendment?

An ATS tracking user can quickly create an amendment via the ATS tracking dashboard by selecting the Create an amendment button.

Once the form is submitted the user will be allocated an amendment number and the amendment details screen will show the available forms based on the status of the amendment
All forms include guidance text and a progress bar to show which mandatory fields have not been completed
Only when all required fields are completed will the form be able to be submitted to the department
When an amendment has a Draft status, it can be submitted for Draft review to the department - available under the Submit options page
Uploading of supporting documents may take time due to virus scanning
Forms related to Planning Panels functions will be actioned through ATS Tracking by an officer from Planning Panels Victoria (PPV)
When the PA is ready to make a decision on an exhibited amendment they will need to submit the following forms in the order listed;
- Planning Authority decision form (where PA can choose to adopt, split, or abandon the amendment)
- Submit for approval form (if applicable)
A Change amendment details form will be available when the amendment is with the department, under exhibition or Panels and allows the PA to update the amendment title, description, affected land details and upload revised supporting documents.
