Why PlanSuite?
Born in the planning department by a practising planner with over 20 years experience.
Minutes, not weeks. Planning advice generated on the spot, while the customer is still on the phone.
Results come straight from the planning scheme ordinances. Your team reviews and sends. No middleman required.
Results sent directly for review the moment they're ready. No queues, no delays, no bottlenecks.
Developed by a current Victorian local government planner who knows exactly what planners need.
Created in direct response to Victorian planning scheme and legislative changes. This isn't a one-size-fits-all product.
Helps planners answer enquiries live at the counter and on the phone. No more "I'll get back to you."

From "do I need a permit for a fence?" to complex multi-overlay assessments. PlanSuite handles the lot.
Upload architectural drawings and get scheme-accurate analysis. The AI reads the plans so your team doesn't have to start from scratch.
Partnership with NearMap gives you the most recent aerial imagery. See what's actually on the ground, not what was there two years ago.
