Plan and Build It Right
Dear CIfA, SAACPP and UDISA Members
If you have been following our journey, you will no doubt be aware that our new DAMS system was not launched on Monday, 27 February as planned. The City is still in the process of migrating data to the new portal. Until then, we unfortunately cannot receive any building plan and development applications. We apologise for the inconvenience and we are working around the clock to get the migration completed. We will inform you as soon as it is live.
