RiskSmart is a method of streamlining the delivery of development outcomes using risk management.
RiskSmart or FastTrack approaches is the general term given to the assessment of low risk development application types that could be assessed in as little as five (5) business days.
Results to date have seen development assessment timeframes reduced by up to 95% from months down to days.
Members of the PlanDev team developed originally developed the RiskSmart process in Brisbane City Council to streamline the processing of low-risk applications. This process was created in response to specific development assessment staff and customer service drivers.
Since that time, the PlanDev team have driven the implementation of RiskSmart in South East Queensland councils and have been involved in the implementation of RiskSmart in selected high growth councils across Queensland.
