Color by Type
DA Insights
Understand what's being built, what it costs, and how fast it gets approved — for any area on the map. DA Insights gives you viewport-scoped analytics that update as you pan and zoom: development type breakdowns, average costs by category, approval rates, and processing times. Color-coded map markers let you see the spatial distribution of different development types at a glance. Whether you're assessing a suburb's development activity, benchmarking costs, or building evidence for a DA proposal, Insights turns raw application data into actionable intelligence.
What DA Insights includes
Development type breakdown
See what's being built in any area. Horizontal bar charts show DA counts by category — new dwellings, apartments, secondary dwellings, alterations, commercial, and more.
Cost analytics
Average cost of development by type, ranked and color-coded. Understand how much each category of work costs in your target area.
Color-coded map markers
Switch DA dots from outcome-based coloring to building-type colors. Instantly see the spatial distribution of houses, apartments, subdivisions, and commercial projects.
Processing times & approval rates
Summary cards show total DAs, overall approval rate, and average assessment days for the current viewport. Compare areas at a glance.
Viewport-scoped analytics
Pan and zoom to any area — the analytics panel updates automatically. No need to select a suburb or council; the data follows your map view.
Time-range filtering
