We run your DA
We coordinate the consultants and prepare your DA documents, every one reviewed and approved by our planning team before it is lodged with council. We manage the assessment and draft your RFI response. You watch live progress; we do the work, through to council’s decision.
A report to know where you stand. A project to get it approved.
No subscriptions. No tiers. Buy the report up front, then commit to the full development application only when you're ready.

Know exactly where you stand before you spend a cent on design.

We prepare and lodge your DA documents; we don’t replace your surveyor, engineer or architect, and council makes the decision. Consultant fees, council fees and any RFI work are quoted and billed separately — a normal part of every DA. This isn’t a guarantee of approval.

A planning picture most consultants cannot assemble
We replaced the consultant runaround with one team standing on a planning database we built ourselves.
285,000+
development applications held
Our own planning database, built from real council decisions. What was approved, what was refused, what conditions came with it.
1.4 million
properties with planning context
Zone, overlays, lot geometry and the decisions nearby, held for each one, so your site is read against everything around it.
Any address
in Australia
We read the planning instrument that governs your parcel and quote it back to you, wherever in the country it sits.
Planner-reviewed
every document, before lodgement
Our planning team reviews and approves every document we prepare before it is lodged. You deal with the people who run your DA, not a call centre.
Straightforward answers
No jargon, no surprises. Here’s what people ask before they get started.
