The Tribunal has changed the content of the RPS webpages.  It has removed many of the previous forms and reduced the list of forms to the following:

• General application form
• General review form
• General referral form
• General Interlocutory form
• Application – Neighbourhood Disputes About Plants Act 2017
• Application to Vary or Revoke Order Neighbourhood Disputes
• Application to Search Database for Applications and Orders under the NDAP 2017
• Application to be Joined as a Party
• Application for Fee Waiver
• Authority to Act Form
• Notice of Appearance

The Tribunal has made a Table of Types of Applications that can be made to the Tribunal.  The table includes:

• the relevant Acts
• the sections that allow proceedings to be brought to TASCAT
• the respondent that you need to put on the form
• any timeframes or special requirements for making your application or appeal.

The Tribunal has made Information Sheets and Practice Directions to assist you in making your application and understanding the processes of the Tribunal.

Please note:

• Any appeal or application must be made on the approved form.
• Most appeals or applications require payment of a fee.  You can seek a waiver or reduction of a fee and information is provided on the website about how to do that.
• There are often time limits on when you can lodge an appeal or application.  Make sure you check the time limit and lodge your application in the required time.  The Tribunal can extend the time for lodging appeals or applications, but you should read the information about asking for an extension and take advice if necessary.  Extensions are not automatically granted and you may be a risk of losing your appeal rights if you don’t lodge the appeal in the required timeframe.

If you require assistance you can contact the Tribunal Registry.

Please read the TASCAT Service Charter that sets out how Tribunal staff can assist you.
