How do I contact service authorities to clear conditions of permits?

In order to lodge either a Part 5 or Certificate of Compliance application you will first need to contact the relevant service authorities to obtain written confirmation that the conditions of your Development Permit, for which their clearance is applicable, have been satisfied. Confirmation via email is acceptable.

Generally, conditions in relation to provision of utility services and/or easements will require at a minimum, clearance from the relevant Council, Power and Water Corporation and telecommunication provider.

If you have any questions in relation to which service authorities need to provide clearances in relation to any specific conditions, please do not hesitate to contact Development Assessment Services on telephone 8999 6046.

Why does my password expire?

The NTG policy around password expiry after 30 days and the password’s length and complexity have been implemented as a risk management approach to balancing the NTG’s responsibility to protect the security and integrity of ILIS information holdings with a legitimate need to provide external access to ILIS business processes.

In recognition that some ILIS users login infrequently, a self-service password recovery function is available and a password can be reactivated by calling ILIS Support on 08 89955309 during NTG Darwin office hours
