Automated pre-DA screening flags every non-compliance before a human planner reviews it. Same controls, same result, every time — regardless of which officer is assessing. Simple compliant DAs get fast-tracked. Complex ones get flagged for senior review with a quantified risk profile.
A straightforward compliant granny flat sits behind a complex multi-storey development. Simple DAs that could be fast-tracked spend weeks waiting for the same manual review as complex ones.
Two officers assessing similar DAs can reach different conclusions about the same controls. Without a quantified baseline, subjective variation is inevitable — and defensibility suffers.
Applicants don't know the controls before they lodge. Incomplete DAs get sent back, re-lodged, and re-assessed — doubling the work for everyone.
When you amend a DCP section, you don't know how many properties or pending DAs are affected. Changes are made without a clear picture of their downstream impact.
Every incoming DA is checked against all applicable controls instantly. Non-compliances are flagged with the specific clause and the degree of variation — before a human planner opens the file.
A quantified compliance baseline means the same controls produce the same assessment, regardless of which officer is reviewing. Reduces subjective variation and strengthens the defensibility of every decision.
Sort incoming DAs by compliance risk score. Simple compliant applications get fast-tracked through the queue. Complex ones with multiple non-compliances are flagged for senior review — with the specific issues already identified.
Embed a compliance checker on your council website so applicants can see the controls before they lodge. Fewer incomplete submissions means less re-work for your team and shorter turnaround for everyone.
Before you gazette a DCP change, see exactly how it affects existing controls across your LGA. How many properties are impacted? Which zones? Which pending DAs? Make policy changes with full visibility.

Officers log in, enter the DA address and development type, and get an instant compliance report. Non-compliances are flagged with clause references and risk scores. Use it as a first-pass screening tool before detailed assessment begins.
Coming SoonAdd a compliance checker to your council website. Applicants enter their address and proposed development before lodging and see which controls apply. Better-informed submissions mean fewer incomplete DAs entering your queue.
Coming SoonBefore amending your DCP, model the impact across your LGA. See which properties, zones, and pending DAs are affected by a proposed control change — so you can make informed policy decisions with full visibility of the consequences.
Coming SoonWe're working with select councils to shape the screening and prioritisation tools. If your council is ready to clear the backlog, we'd like to hear from you.
