Planning made simple
We've consumed every planning document from councils across Australia and turned complex regulations into clear, actionable guidance.
Development applications are broken
Every year, thousands of development applications are delayed or rejected due to avoidable errors. The planning system is complex, documents are scattered, and requirements vary dramatically between councils.
- 42% of DAs require additional information requests
- $2,400 average cost of DA delays to applicants
- 8 weeks average delay from preventable issues
AI that speaks planning
LocalPlanner.ai has processed over 12,000 planning documents from councils across Australia. Our AI understands zoning, setbacks, height limits, and hundreds of other planning controls.
Ingests All Documents
LEPs, DCPs, SEPPs, planning proposals, and council policies - all in one place, always up to date.
Real-Time Analysis
Get instant feedback on compliance issues before you submit. No more waiting weeks for a rejection letter.
Council-Specific
Every council has different requirements. We know them all and tailor guidance to your specific location.
How it works
Enter your address
We identify your property, retrieve its zoning, and pull all relevant planning controls from your local council.
Describe your project
Tell us what you want to build - a granny flat, extension, pool, or something else. We'll identify what applies.
Get your requirements
Receive a personalized checklist of everything you need - setbacks, height limits, documents, and approval pathways.
Check before you submit
Upload your DA documents and we'll review them against council requirements, flagging issues before they cause delays.
