Simplified Submissions allow for reduced processing time for simple projects. The QP may lodge the SS and receive a system generated acknowledgement within a day.

Upon request by PUB, the QP may be required to provide his plans for audit. For proposal that does not meet any of the SS criteria, Development Control submission shall be made.
