Apply.Gov is a comprehensive system designed to accept, store and manage the processing of various applications used within the local government. These applications may relate to several business units who need to interact with local council residents and business owners for issuing permits, certificates or renewing licenses. The desktop based application is referred to as Apply.Gov and the web based application component is referred to as eApply.Gov.

There are two projects currently in the finishing stages, which involve integration of smart forms with Apply.Gov. We have built several web services as part of a federal government initiative under the NeDA and EasyBiz projects to handle the acceptance of various applications in XML format . The applications cover a wide range of transactions including, planning, building, collection of rubbish, animals and other small business related transactions.
