Planning Controls
Upzone for Town Planners
Town planners need ready access to accurate property data and relevant planning precedents to make informed decisions with efficiency. Upzone provides that all-in-one source of planning controls and data, with the benefit of viewing properties, sites, and suburbs on-map with planning zone and overlay context. Planners can visually evaluate a property against its zoning controls, check the status of nearby permits and development applications, and trace every rule back to its source instrument. Upzone consolidates all the important information for planners so that they can deliver timely advice to clients and team members, and submit comprehensive applications to council with confidence.
Key features for planners
Precedent benchmarking
Approval rates, assessment timelines, and development types approved in the area. Compare proposals against the established pattern of decisions.
Rule tracing
Every planning control cited to its source LEP clause, DCP provision, or SEPP. The rule chain is already mapped — no more cross-referencing PDFs.
Overlay checking
Heritage, flood, bushfire, acid sulfate, contamination, biodiversity, and more — precomputed for every parcel with links to the mapping source.
Outcome likelihood
Approval probability based on historical council decisions for the same development type, zone, and area. What the council is actually approving.
