Hindmarsh Shire Council Expands Collaboration with Greenlight OPM to Streamline Planning Process

E-VIS - Greenlight is pleased to announce an exciting expansion in its partnership with Hindmarsh Shire Council. Nearly two years ago, Hindmarsh Shire Council began working with Greenlight OPM to facilitate the registration and application process for building permits. Building on the success of this collaboration, the Council has now adopted Greenlight for managing planning permits as well.

Planning permits are essential legal documents that grant permission for land use or development. They typically include a written document with specific conditions that must be met, alongside a detailed set of plans. It is important to note that while some projects require both a building and a planning permit, these involve two separate applications and processes.

The integration of Greenlight’s planning module signifies a significant advancement in how Hindmarsh Shire Council handles permit applications. The Greenlight building module, already in use, allows applicants to apply for permits online, make payments for statutory and processing fees, track the real-time progress of their applications, provide additional data, and upload necessary documents through an easy-to-use portal. This digital approach has streamlined the application process, saving both applicants and Council staff valuable time and effort.

Greenlight's planning module now brings the same level of efficiency to the planning permit process. Applicants can expect a seamless experience when submitting their planning permit applications online. The platform's user-friendly interface ensures that all necessary information and documents can be uploaded easily, and real-time tracking keeps applicants informed of their application's status at every stage.

This expansion not only benefits applicants but also enhances the Council's operational efficiency. By reducing the manual handling of applications and facilitating online payments, the planning module helps Council staff focus on more critical tasks, ultimately speeding up the entire approval process.

Greenlight OPM's collaboration with Hindmarsh Shire Council is a testament to the effectiveness of digital solutions in local government operations. The success of the building module and the promising start of the planning module highlight the transformative potential of Greenlight’s comprehensive suite of services.

Greenlight OPM continues to support local governments in their mission to provide timely and efficient services to their communities. With Hindmarsh Shire Council leading the way, more councils are expected to follow suit, embracing digital transformation to improve the planning and building permit processes.
