Yes, you need a licence for a scooter or moped in Australia. However, the licence necessary for scooter riders differs by state. It also depends if your scooter is classified as a scooter or a moped. So what is the difference between a scooter and a moped?A moped is a specific type of scooter with an engine size of 50cc or less and doesn’t travel any faster than 50kmph. Anything over 50cc and going faster than 50kmph is considered a scooter. These are the essential differences between the two. Do I need a motorcycle licence to ride a moped in Australia?That depends on what state or territory you live in. Luckily, if you live in SA, QLD, WA or NT, you can ride a moped using your regular C class licence, as long as the moped is registered, insured and compliant with Australian design rules. If you live in ACT, NSW, TAS or VIC, you will need a motorcycle licence. What if my scooter is not a moped?If your scooter has an engine size of more than 50cc or goes faster than 50kmph, you will need a motorcycle licence to be able to drive it IN ALL AUSTRALIAN STATES AND TERRITORIES. Can I ride a moped on my learner’s?It depends on each state. Queensland allows learner, provisional and open drivers licence holders to ride mopeds, learners in South Australia and Western Australia must pass riding tests before they can legally ride a moped.

The list below details the most common and frequently asked questions in relation to the DAP. Please note, for technical assistance with the DAP your first point of action should be to refer to the support library. Alternatively, you can contact the PlanSA Service Desk staff for assistance on or call 1800 752 664.
What is required on the digital “approved” stamp, the date, the council’s name – I have attached ours for your comment. Do we need the ID number, and reference to the PDI Act? There are no minimum requirements for stamps (used for stamped plans) however the below is an example of good practice: 
What is meant by “clearance requirement” in the portal? (Found in Conditions and Advisory Notes section of the application) These are the conditions that need to be met for the Certificate Title to be created/presented in the case of a land division. An example of one of these conditions is the payment of the “open space waiver”, but there are many more. This type of enquiry would be best handled by the land divisions team (contactable via PlanSA Service Desk Option#3) if they need to clarify the specific conditions.
Where can I obtain a "Digital" Stamp? You may source your own software or create one yourself however we recommend "Bluebeam". Their website is www.bluebeam.com/au/
Why is GST on some Planning fees and not others, and the same for Building fees? GST is not charged for a service that only the council or state government can provide. For example the lodgement fee for a DA (development application) or a performance assessed application fee. If the service can be done privately (e.g. a deemed-to-satisfy application) this will have GST included even if it is being processed by the council so as to keep competition on price relatively equal.
Will the DAP/ePlanning platform decide which category of assessment an application falls within? Depending on the entry criteria selected. For example, selecting a parcel of land, or nominating a specific type of development, such as a shed. Answering a series of criteria-based questions will return a suggested pathway for users, along with the relevant rules, according to the Planning and Design Code. This will then be verified and confirmed by the relevant authority prior to lodgement (timing of commencement of this function TBC).
Is there a period of time during which an application has been lodged to check it has been lodged correctly? Once submitted, applications must be reviewed by the relevant authority to confirm that they are properly made and are allocated to the correct category. This process is known as ‘verification’ and will have a statutory timeframe prior to the payment of fees and subsequent lodgement.
Where an application is lodged outside of business hours, what are the rules for the start of the application timeline and stop- clock requirements? Assessment timeframes work in business days, so if an application or information is submitted by the applicant outside of business hours, the assessment clock will commence at the start of the next business day.
Will DAP allow changes to the relevant authority during the application process? Yes. Where new information is supplied which then triggers a change in the relevant authority, the PlanSA portal will allow the application to be transmitted or re-allocated to the correct authority. In most circumstances this will result in a fresh application which would follow a new verification process and re-start the assessment timeframes.
Will assessments be undertaken in hard or soft copy file format? The PDI Act supports a digital approach to assessment, with information filed and stored in DAP, accessed via the PlanSA portal. Application assessment should preferably all be undertaken electronically with business processes supported by technology. Paper submission is possible via the local relevant authority and any fees involved will be charged by the local government.
When using the DAP to assess applications, will it be possible to write confidential notes that the public, or an applicant, won’t be able to see? Yes, confidential notes can be made, with certain information being able to be marked as private to an organisation within the DAP. Councils should seek their own advice about the FOI rules applicable to this information. Keep in mind, the public will be able to see the status of each development application, in addition to the details contained within the expanded public register. This will replace the need for councils to establish their own public registers for PDI Act applications.
Will it be possible to change the initial determined assessment pathway during verification? Yes. The relevant authority can reassess the initial assessment pathway determined by the DAP system during verification for each element which sets the appropriate pathway for assessment.
How transparent will information be on the PlanSA portal or within the workflow solution? Can councils add restrictions to certain information? All users will be able to see the status, dates and application details for a development application (with the exception of the application documents and plans). When an extension of time is granted, the applicant will receive notice and any other parties (such as referral agencies) will be able to view any changes to the application. Transparency will be consistent across the platform, but authorities will be able to add confidential notes, where appropriate. These notes may still be subject to FOI processes. Application plans that require public notice are only viewable through the PlanSA portal, and plans will only be published for the duration of the public notification period. When identifying the plans to be notified, the authority must not publish any plans that may jeopardise the present or future security of a building.
Will relevant authorities be able to have multiple requests for additional information if agreed to by the applicant? Yes. Refer to the Guide – Assess a planning and land division consent - ‘Request for Information’ section for this process.
Will certain referral agencies have various timeframes to respond to advice requests? The DAP has been set up to be in line with the Regulations which sets out what timeframe a referral agency has to respond to a referral. This timeframe is shown in the clocks tab of a development application when there is an active referral.
Will an agency’s request for further information be sent directly to the applicant, or does a copy get sent to the relevant authority at the same time to consider? Requests for further information are completed within the DAP and are sent straight to the applicant. The Regulations require the agency to also notify the relevant authority of the request via the PlanSA portal immediately after making the request – this will be visible to the relevant authority via their dashboard in the DAP.
Can the system capture discussions between the agency and the applicant within the system, so that relevant authorities are aware of the deliberations before a referral response is received? Applicants, agencies, relevant authorities and councils will all be able to store correspondence in the DAP. Agencies and applicants will be encouraged to interact via the system. Where this doesn't occur and correspondence is done external to the DAP, agencies will need to then upload correspondence in to the documents store of the development application.
Will the DAP system allow for conditions to be applied to an application? Yes. All development assessment functionality will occur within the DAP. Relevant conditions will continue to be published in a Decision Notification Form (DNF) which are shared on the Public Register for each application that has been granted a decision by a relevant authority. Frequently used or template conditions and advisory notes can be saved by the Organisation Administrator for use by assessors.
Will a ‘deemed consent’ be able to be issued if an application which has been determined to require public notification has not yet undertaken this process? Deemed consent notices can be served for any application for planning consent (except impact assessed by the Minister) that is not decided within the time specified in the Regulations. If public notification is required but has not been completed when a deemed consent notice is served, the council would need to consider applying to the Court to quash the consent.
Where can I find the fee for an extension to a Development authorisation under DIT Legislation? This is within the Planning Development and Infrastructure (Fees, Charges and Contributions) Regulations 2019, and is item 28 under Part 5 of these Regs.
How long will assessments take under the PDI ACT in the DAP? There are different assessment pathways and what is required as part of the application assessment process e.g. referrals, public notification. Please utilise the development assessment timeframes fact sheet available on the PlanSA portal.
Where an applicant emails the application to the council requesting that the relevant authority lodge the application, can the processing fee (hard copy lodgement fee) be charged by the relevant authority? Yes. The fee can still be charged.
The existing planning consent was issued under the old system and now they are unable to bypass the planning consent process in the PlanSA portal to go straight to building rules verification. (for ACP) Please use the Transitional Application Process for Granting Building Rules Consent (Guide available on the PlanSA portal) for when planning consent was previously granted under the Development Act.
