What is the benefit of logging into the system?
Development.i allows you to search and retrieve property and application details without the need to use the log in feature.
However, the system provides you with the ability to:
- save your map search and filters so you can easily come back to these, and choose to get alerted when new applications are lodged that meet this criteria
- favourite a property and get notified of applications lodged on or around the property, and
- favourite an application that interests you and get alerted to changes to that application.
To do this, you will need to create and log in to your MyCouncil account to manage these saved searches and alerts.
For a video on how to use the log in, saved searches and alerts features, refer to Development.i - how to use.
