The requestor will be required to fill out details relating to the amendment. Note that several fields such as name, organisation, email, phone, municipality, and amendment number are mandatory. Once complete, the requestor can select ‘Mark up map’ located at the bottom of the form.

Note: It is recommended that the ‘Mark up map’ option should be used when the proposed zone/overlay is a simple feature and areas only cover a single or small number of properties.

The map will zoom to the extent of the LGA selected. The requestor can then find the amendment area through either using the zoom functions or the address search toolbar at the top-right of the page.

The requestor will then be given 2 options to digitise an area of proposed zone/overlay. In either case, fields relevant to the feature type (zone or overlay) and the zone/overlay code (and schedule number if applicable) should be populated for each feature. After selecting the preferred option and details, select OK.

Option A - Draw feature onto the map

Using the mouse cursor, clicking on the map will start the draw function for the feature. The feature can then be built-up by clicking at various points on the map. Double-clicking the map will finish the drawing of the feature. The feature will appear on the map along with a prompt to notify the feature has been created.

Note: Automatic snapping to the property layer for the drawing can be turned on using the hotkey 'F'.

Option B - Select properties to make up a feature

The requestor can choose to select properties on the map using either freehand (draw a freehand line on the map) or multiple points (select several points on the map).

Once the feature is added or geometry captured, the prompt will appear with ‘Success’. Select OK.

Upon selecting the ‘OK’ button, the form will progress to the amendment summary screen. This will provide the request details for review;

• Another zone/overlay feature can be added to the amendment request.
• Details can be updated by selecting ‘Back to details’
• If all the details are correct, select the ‘Review’ button to check the amendment features before submitting.

On the review screen, hovering over any item on the list of zone/overlay features will highlight the feature.

At this point, if any proposed features are incorrect, the requestor can select a feature from the listing and press the ‘Remove’ button. This will remove the selected feature and navigate back to the updated map amendment summary screen where another zone/overlay can be added if necessary.

Selecting Back will return to the map amendment summary screen where another zone/overlay feature can be added. If all proposed features are correct, selecting the ‘Submit’ button will send the request through to the planning mapping services team.

At the Confirm Submission screen, the requestor can add further comments if needed and select OK to proceed with the map amendment request.

An email receipt will be sent out to the provided email address with the request details and will include an image file showing the selected area for the feature to be added.
