Data-driven insights on NSW planning compliance, property research, and planning technology.
Free-text development descriptions fed to AI produce unreliable provision filtering. A structured intake changes the reliability ceiling — and the liability picture for planners lodging DAs.
On January 30, a 200-line plugin wiped $285 billion from enterprise software companies. The lesson isn't about legal tech — it's about every industry that charges per-seat for data access.
We mapped every major Australian proptech company's AI and API readiness. The field is wide open — here's where the gaps are and what comes next.
A technical deep-dive into Verify's architecture decisions that make every compliance claim traceable to its regulatory source. Zero false negatives.
Stop switching between Scout, Verify, and Validate. Our AI integration synthesizes property intelligence into a single, data-backed answer in 45 seconds.
Council processing times vary by 150+ days across Sydney. Outdated data causes delays that cost developers thousands. Here's how to avoid them.
Machine learning models can forecast which development applications will face neighbour objections. Here's what the technology does and where it's heading in NSW.
Fusing aerial and street-level imagery with property data reduces valuation error by nearly 30%. Here's how the technology works in Australia.
NASA's 120-petabyte Earth observation archive is now accessible via QGIS. Here's how NSW councils and developers can use thermal mapping, flood analysis, and bushfire risk data.
Why do some developments sail through while others stall? The answer lies in zoning, pathway choice, and council resourcing. Here's what the data reveals.
Using spatial data to model development scenarios before lodging. From building envelopes to infrastructure capacity—how GIS is reshaping strategic planning.
After analysing 10,000+ DAs, clear patterns emerge. Overshadowing, privacy, and height dominate—but not all objections influence outcomes.
The promise of automated compliance checking vs reality. Here's what current BIM plugins can and can't do for Australian compliance.
From construction sites to satellite monitoring, visual AI systems detect violations at scale. Here's what's working and what's next.
