Get ready for the online Development Portal to launch on 15 July
On Monday 15 July, the Unitywater Development Portal is set to Go Live! So that you are supported and have the opportunity to proactively get ready, we are offering a number of opportunities to ensure that external stakeholders are prepared and feel confident to use the portal.
The Development Services (DS) team has taken a collaborative and considered approach to deliver an online application solution for the development industry and it is now time to present more details on what to expect and how to transition to the online portal and some of the functionality to look forward to.
Industry Briefing sessions in May
With the implementation of an online system, there are inevitably some process adjustments, and we want to ensure the development industry is fully informed and has time to prepare. We are holding briefing sessions in May where Unitywater will walk through the key updates that will accompany the Development Portal launch.
Three industry briefing sessions (noted below) will be hosted online with the same content delivered in each session. These three options will hopefully assist in meeting most people’s availability.
- Tuesday 14 May, 9am - 10am
- Thursday 16 May, 12 - 1pm
- Tuesday 21 May, 4 - 5pm
To attend one of these sessions, register here. We look forward to seeing you online.
‘Lunch and Learn’ online sessions late June- early July
We’ve listened to your survey and focus group feedback and created a learning program to support building your knowledge and adoption of the new portal. As we edge closer to the launch of the portal we are engaging via a ‘Lunch and Learn’ approach in more active learning methods which encourages people to learn through group discussions, practice through doing and teaching others.
Our ‘Lunch and Learn’ sessions are designed to give people experience in the functionality of the portal and take a step-by-step guided approach.
We understand that every portal user will have specific needs and questions and so we have formatted training based on the different user groups such as construction certifiers, developers, consulting engineers, major/minor certifiers and administration staff.
These 30-minute online training sessions will be delivered over a two-week period from 24 June – 5 July. Further information will be provided shortly on how to register for these sessions.
Learning resources
A suite of quick reference guides (PDF documents) and videos noting step-by-step portal instructions will also be made available to you shortly. Stay tuned for further details on how to access these handy resources.
