Australia’s planning problem.
Getting something built in Australia isn’t slow because of construction. It’s slow because of planning. The system is document-heavy, fragmented across councils and state agencies, and siloed in a way that makes even simple projects feel impossible.
Document heavy
A single DA can require dozens of reports from separate consultants, each one commissioned blind, without knowing if the project is even viable.
Slow by design
Average approval times stretch to months or years. Most of that time is spent chasing information that should have been available from day one.
Completely siloed
Planners, architects, engineers, and councils all work in isolation. There is no shared view of the project and no one is accountable for the whole.
We don’t have a build problem. We have a planning problem.
The Develpr way.
Develpr connects homeowners and built-environment professionals directly to qualified town planners. AI assists planners through the DA process, cutting the manual, document-heavy work that slows every application. Everyone moves faster. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Fast reports
Get an overview in seconds and a full report in 24 hours. Most people spend thousands on architects and consultants only to find out their project isn't feasible. Develpr tells you before you commit a cent.
Full vision
The average DA touches 14 separate planning controls. Miss one and your application gets rejected. Develpr maps every overlay, setback, and constraint to your exact lot before you commit to anything.
One place
The average DA involves 8 different consultants who don't talk to each other. Develpr connects your planner, reports, and lodgement in one place so nothing falls through the cracks.

Track every artefact, RFI, and council touchpoint in one place. Bring your architect and certifier in. Keep your investor view clean.
Log into develprA clear answer. Not a 90-page PDF nobody reads.
Every report opens with a verdict, the three constraints that actually matter, and a recommended path. Detail is one click deeper, never in your way.
A verdict, not a maybe.
Every report opens with a single sentence: yes / no / conditional. We attach a confidence score and the reasoning so your investors don't have to guess.
Sourced from primary planning docs.
We cite the LEP, DCP, and SEPPs by section and clause. If a constraint applies, you can find it in two clicks, and your council planner will recognise the language.
Comparables that matter.
Nearby DAs in the last 36 months: what was approved, what was refused, and the conditions you should plan around.
A recommended path.
Merit DA, CDC, Section 4.55, complying development. We tell you which lane is fastest given what you actually want to build.
Hand-off ready.
Architect, town planner, certifier. Share the report once and they'll have what they need before the kick-off call.
Made for the entire property ecosystem.
Planning looks different depending on where you sit in the industry. A homeowner asking if they can add a storey has different needs to a developer screening ten sites, or a planner managing a full DA pipeline. Develpr is built to meet each of them where they are.
