How it works
Your approval is only the beginning
Upload your consent
Your official development consent PDF, plus optional plans, modifications or council correspondence. Tell us your council, address and where you're up to.
We analyse your conditions
Every numbered condition is read and identified — pre-certificate, pre-commencement, during construction, occupation and ongoing — including anything needing another approval, a professional or a payment.
Get your roadmap
A personalised, plain-English report: what each condition means, what to do, when, who's responsible, where to lodge and what it might cost — linked back to your actual consent.
Inside your report
Not a generic guide — your conditions, explained
Your approval at a glance
Address, council, DA number and what was approved — summarised in plain English.
Your immediate next steps
A prioritised checklist of what to investigate or complete first.
Understanding your conditions
Every condition explained individually, linked to its original number and page.
Your required applications
Construction Certificate, Principal Certifier, s138 driveway approvals, contributions, occupation certificate — only the ones your consent actually calls for.
How to lodge each application
The right authority, the right portal, what to prepare and how to confirm current fees.
Your project checklist
Printable, interactive and organised by stage — from certification to ongoing obligations.
Accuracy protections: we preserve your original condition wording, link every explanation back to its condition number, flag anything ambiguous for professional review, and never invent fees, forms or requirements. If your consent can't be read reliably, we say so and offer manual review instead of guessing.
