Fill in the usual application form and when you file it with the SAT, tell the service officer that the matter is urgent (See interim application below).

If you need a temporary solution under an enabling law, you will need to file an interim application form in addition to the standard application form to have your matter heard before the SAT.

(Interim applications do not apply to guardianship and administration applications).

For example, if you have been served with a notice that requires the demolition of a building by a particular date, you may, in the standard way, be able to apply for a review of the notice. However, you may also need to file an interim application for a 'stay order', which in effect, "freezes" the notice until the review application has been determined.

If you make an urgent or interim application, you should also file a signed statement explaining why you require a temporary solution. This will determine whether the matter is urgent and whether any stay, injunction or other order should be granted.

You should also lodge with the statement any important documents or materials that might support your application.

If you require an interim order for an application under the Strata Titles Act 1985, you should attach it to your main application. See the SAT Wizard.
