NSW AI Planning Report
Upload your Spatial Viewer report or Section 10.7 certificate. Get a comprehensive property planning analysis plus unlimited AI follow-up grounded in your specific property data.
Developers, owner-investors and design professionals who need the complete picture, not just a data dump.
What you get for $39
The AI Planning Report is the upgraded tier above the $19 Property Snapshot. The Snapshot tells you what's there — zone, HOB, FSR, SEPPs. The Planning Report tells you what to do about it. It includes development capacity analysis (how many dwellings, what typology, subdivision potential), pathway analysis (DA vs CDC vs exempt for each scenario), recent-reform overlays (LMR Stage 1, Stage 2, TOD, affordable housing bonus), and — uniquely — unlimited AI follow-up Q&A grounded in your specific property data.
Once your property is loaded, you can ask any planning question for the life of the credit. 'Can I add a granny flat?' / 'What's my CDC pathway for a new dwelling?' / 'Can I do a Cl 4.6 variation on the FSR?' / 'What if I bought the neighbouring lot and consolidated — could I subdivide for townhouses?' Each answer references your zone, HOB, FSR, applicable SEPPs and DCP. It's the closest thing to having a planner on retainer for $39.
Five layers of analysis
Each Planning Report is structured into five distinct content layers:
- Property profile — zone, HOB, FSR, lot size, heritage, ASS, foreshore, applicable SEPPs (with status and publication dates)
- Reform overlays — LMR Stage 1 status, LMR Stage 2 catchment, TOD precinct, in-fill affordable housing eligibility, Heritage Conservation Area, bushfire / flood / coastal flags
- Development capacity — estimated dwelling yield by typology (single, dual occ, multi-dwelling, RFB), subdivision potential (Torrens / strata), BCA Class implications for change of use, granny flat / pool feasibility
- Pathway analysis — DA vs CDC vs exempt for each likely project type, Codes SEPP eligibility, typical timeline and cost per pathway, specialist reports likely required, Section 4.15 considerations, Cl 4.6 variation likelihood
- Unlimited AI follow-up — ask anything about your property, multi-turn conversation context, cross-references LEP / DCP / SEPP, suggests next-step products where relevant
Why the unlimited follow-up matters
Most planning analyses are one-shot. You get a report. Six weeks later you have a follow-up question. You either pay another $200 for a planner consultation or guess. The Planning Report is different. Once your property is loaded into the system, the data persists. You can come back any time for the life of the credit and ask another question. Each answer is grounded in YOUR property's zone, HOB, FSR and applicable SEPPs — not generic advice.
This makes the Planning Report ideal for users in active design phase: 'Should we add a basement?' 'Can the kitchen go on the south side without breaching solar access?' 'If we increase the deck by 2m, do we still meet the building envelope?' The answers come back grounded in the actual rules that apply to the property.
How it compares to a planner consultation
A 30-minute planner consultation runs $200-$500. The Planning Report at $39 covers the same scope of property analysis (typically) with the addition of unlimited follow-up. Where the Planning Report falls short of a planner is on judgement calls (matters of degree, taste, character, council relationship). For those, our NSW partner planning consultancy is the right next step — and most users get the answer they need from the Planning Report alone.
Worked example: Frenchs Forest RFB
106 Frenchs Forest Road West — Northern Beaches Council, R3 zone, base WLEP standards 20m HOB and 2:1 FSR. A real DA (DA2025/1322) used the in-fill affordable housing bonus to get 30% uplift to 26m and 2.6:1 — adding 8 apartments across 2 floors to the previously-approved RFB. The Planning Report would identify the bonus eligibility (>15% in-fill affordable housing of GFA), calculate the uplift, and confirm the maximum building height of 26.49m approved represents a 1.89% Cl 4.6 variation under s 16(3) of the Housing SEPP. All cited from the SEPP and the actual DA outcome.
