A plain English explanation of this ACT planning and property term.
means that development identified as exempt development under the ACT planning system does not require development approval, but may still be subject to other statutory requirements, approvals, codes, standards, or restrictions before the work can commence.
DA-exempt means a development application is not required when every exemption condition is met. Other laws still apply, and separate approvals or consents may be needed for the building work, plumbing, trees, utilities, heritage, driveways or other matters.
