Find compliance gaps
before council does

Upload a document, enter your proposed specs, or submit a machine-readable application — and ZoneDSS checks every claim against every applicable planning control. Missing controls, incorrect references, and compliance gaps are flagged instantly.

Three ways to check compliance

Whether you're writing a planning report, designing a building, or submitting an application — ZoneDSS checks your work against the actual controls that apply to your site.

DA Document Assessment

Coming Soon

Upload a Statement of Environmental Effects, planning report, or DA submission. ZoneDSS reads every claim, checks it against the actual controls for your site, and flags what's missing, what's wrong, and what's incomplete.

What it catches

  • Controls that apply but weren't addressed
  • Incorrect clause references and citations
  • Claims that contradict the actual requirements
  • Gaps that would trigger a request for information

Design Compliance Check

Coming Soon

Enter your proposed building height, setbacks, floor space ratio, parking spaces, and landscaping — and see pass or fail against every applicable control. Know where you stand before you lodge.

What you get

  • Pass/fail result for every control
  • Your proposed value vs. the required value
  • Estimated approval likelihood score
  • Clause references for every control checked

ADAC Assessment

Coming Soon

Upload machine-readable development applications in ADAC format. ZoneDSS validates every field against the applicable controls and returns a structured compliance matrix — ready for automated processing.

What you get

  • Field-by-field validation against controls
  • Structured compliance matrix output
  • Missing and invalid field identification
  • Ready for council integration workflows

Example compliance result

Every check shows your value, the required value, and a clear pass or fail.

Compliance check result
Control Your proposal Required Result
Building height 12m 9.5m max FAIL
Floor space ratio 1.8:1 2.0:1 max PASS
Front setback 6m 6m min PASS
Side setback 1.5m 1.8m min FAIL
Car parking 18 24 required FAIL
Landscaping 22% 20% min PASS
Estimated approval likelihood 45%

Not an AI opinion — a deterministic check

Every requirement checked individually

We don't ask an AI "does this comply?" We check your proposal against each individual planning requirement one by one. Height limit: pass or fail. Setback: pass or fail. Parking: pass or fail. No ambiguity, no interpretation.

Cross-instrument coverage

Your proposal isn't just checked against the LEP. We check it against every applicable SEPP, every relevant DCP section, and resolve any overrides between them. If a State policy changes a height limit, we catch it.

Gap detection, not summarisation

When we assess a DA document, we don't summarise it. We check whether it addresses every applicable requirement. If a control is missing from the submission, we flag exactly which one and cite the clause.

Reproducible results

Same document, same controls, same assessment — every time. Our compliance checks are deterministic. Two people assessing the same proposal get the same result, unlike AI tools where the output varies with each run.

Stop guessing. Start checking.

ZoneDSS compliance assessments are opening to early access users first. Upload your first document and see what you've been missing.
