Application Tracker
Application Tracker - Service Upgrade
We're upgrading our Application Tracker to improve how you view and follow your applications online.
As part of this upgrade, there will temporarily be two Application Trackers, selecting the right one will depend on when your application or amendment was lodged or determined.
Applications lodged or determined after 28 January 2026
If your application or amendment was lodged or determined after 28 January 2026, you can track it using our Application Tracker.
Application Tracker allows you to:
- search for recent applications
- view decisions and key details
- access records.
All other applications
For older applications, including applications lodged and/or determined before 28 January 2026, visit our Historical Application Tracker.
The Historical Application Tracker allows you to:
- search for older applications
- view decisions and key details
- access historical records.

City of Newcastle provides public access to development activity information and fire safety schedules for buildings across the Local Government Area through the Application Tracker.
Using the interactive map, you can search by address or application number, apply filters to refine your search, and view relevant documentation. The Tracker also allows you to provide feedback on Development Applications that are currently on public exhibition.
