What actually goes in a Statement of Environmental Effects, or SEE — the core document behind your New South Wales DA? A strong SEE has four parts. First, describe the site: its zone, constraints and surroundings. Second, describe the proposal — exactly what you're building. Third, show planning compliance: how you meet the LEP, any SEPP, and your council's DCP. And fourth, the heart of it, assess the impacts — privacy, overshadowing, streetscape, traffic, stormwater and waste — and how you'll manage each one. Not sure which sections apply? Our free SEE checklist tailors the list in three quick questions. Then generate your SEE in minutes at instantSEE.
