Questions about planning data.

Straight answers on coverage, documents, search and exports.

Coverage and data

Which councils do you cover?

Every council across Australia. Wherever you work, we cover it.

How up to date is it?

Live. Development applications appear as soon as councils publish them.

How far back does it go?

Planning history back to 1980, with the documents for every development application.

Do I get the documents too?

Yes. Plans, drawings, statements and notices of determination, all in the app. No more downloading PDFs from council portals.

Search and filters

Can I search inside the documents?

Yes. Our document keyword search reads the text of plans, drawings and statements, and highlights every match.

Can I choose which documents to search?

Yes. Pick the document types you care about, such as plans and drawings only, and we search just those.

How do I find the right development applications?

Search by map, drawn area or AI, then filter by work type, distance, property value and stage.

Saving and exporting

Can I save my searches?

Yes. Save your searches and re-run them any time, and save up to 2,000 results at a time into folders.

Can I export the data?

Yes. Export your results to CSV, ready for Excel or your CRM.

Does it send letters to homeowners?

No. Planning data is just the data. If you want letters as well, look at Homeowner outreach.
