Application for a metropolitan planning levy certificate

About this form

Use this form to apply for a metropolitan planning levy (MPL) certificate.

You can complete this form if you are:

• applying for a planning permit
• authorised to act on behalf of the applicant.

Review the process to apply for a MPL certificate.

We encourage you to speak with the relevant planning authority to ensure your leviable permit application is ready to be lodged before applying for an MPL certificate. An MPL certificate expires 180 days after its issue date. A revised MPL certificate expires on the later of 90 days after its issue date or the date on which the original MPL certificate expires. You cannot get an extension of time for MPL certificates or revised MPL certificates. 

We will issue your MPL certificate within 10 business days of receiving all applicable information.

You can save the form and return to it later using the tracking code and answering the security question.
