How it works
From address to answers in three steps
Tell us about your property
Enter any NSW address and describe what you want to build or open — in your own words. An extension, a knockdown-rebuild, a café, a childcare centre. No planning knowledge required.
Get your free analysis in minutes
We check zoning, permitted uses, heritage listings and planning constraints against live NSW Government data — then score your likelihood of success, grounded in how your council has actually decided similar applications.
Go deeper when you’re ready
Upgrade to a precedent-cited DA Report or a Pre-DA Meeting Report to understand every barrier, every required document, and walk into council fully prepared.
Why Plan Advice
Planning advice that reflects how councils actually decide
Most planning tools recite legislation. Plan Advice goes further — it studies the way your council has determined comparable applications, so you see the real hurdles early and prepare for them properly.
Grounded in real council decisions
Our AI reads historical DA determinations from your council — so advice reflects how assessors actually decide, not just what the rulebook says.
Live NSW Government data
Zoning, heritage and planning overlays come straight from official NSW spatial services — always current, never guesswork.
Plain-English answers
No planning jargon. Clear explanations of what’s permitted, what’s risky, and exactly what to do next.
Know the risks before you spend
See the issues council is likely to raise — before you commit to architects, consultants and lodgement fees.
Every document, listed
A complete checklist of the documents your application needs, tailored to your project and your council.
Homes and businesses
From extensions, dual occupancies and rebuilds to cafés, small bars, retail fitouts and childcare — both worlds covered.
