Your Council. Your Templates.

Delegate Reports, Planning Advice Letters and enforcement correspondence can be configured to reflect your council's existing templates, branding, wording and internal processes.

You don't need to change the way council reports look to benefit from PlanSuite.

We'll maintain the planning framework

PlanSuite's report structure is centrally maintained as Victorian planning legislation and planning provisions change, which reduces the need for councils to keep updating internal assessment templates.
