Getting started
with BOPS
Who is this guide for?
This guide is for anyone involved in setting up and using BOPS. If you are taking part in the ODP pilot testing, then you will need to follow this guide to set up BOPS at your council.
Use this guide to:
request a test BOPS account for your council
get approval to use BOPS for live applications at your council
get set up to process live applications on BOPS.
The information in this guide is aimed at whoever is responsible for managing BOPS at your council. This might include planning or validation officers and managers, procurement, or digital and IT team members.
BOPS works best with PlanX. If you do not have PlanX at your council, you can still use BOPS, but you would need to manually create each planning application prior to validation.
