For Planning Consultants

Research the property. Upload the plans. Build the assessment.

PlanSuite combines planning intelligence with automated report preparation for private planning practice.

All 79 Victorian local government areas

Work across every Victorian local government area from one workspace, without learning a new mapping system for each municipality.

Editable drafts, not black boxes

Every report is a starting point you review, amend and refine before it goes to council.

Your judgement, your submission

You retain responsibility for confirming the applicable requirements and finalising the planning justification.

Start with the core platform

Understand the site before you write a word.

PlanSuite Maps

Zones, overlays, schedules, parking categories, flood mapping, bushfire, cultural heritage and parcel information for any Victorian property.

PlanSuite Chat

Interrogate the scheme in plain English and get answers referenced back to the relevant provisions.

Nearmap Integration

Current and historical aerial imagery for site analysis, where your practice holds a subscription.

Titles & Property Information

Title particulars, registered area, lot and plan, parish and Crown land information, with recent titles available for purchase.

Report generation for private practice

Two specialist generators built around the way consultants actually prepare a submission.

Planning Report Generator

A draft Town Planning Assessment Report from your plans and the applicable controls.

Upload the architectural plans, site plans, supporting reports, title documents and development information. PlanSuite reviews the material together with the applicable planning controls and prepares a comprehensive draft report for submission with a planning permit application.

You spend less time on the repetitive sections and more on planning strategy, site-specific matters and the overall justification for the proposal.

Depending on the application, the report can cover

  • Site and surrounding area description
  • Existing conditions and proposal description
  • Planning permit triggers
  • Planning Policy Framework, zone and overlay assessment
  • Particular and General Provisions
  • Clause 55, Clause 52.06 and Clause 65 where applicable
  • Planning merits, justification and conclusion

Subdivision Report Generator

A specialist planning assessment for subdivision applications.

Drag and drop the subdivision plans, title documents and supporting information. PlanSuite reviews the property information, the planning controls and the proposed subdivision, then prepares a structured planning assessment addressing the subdivision itself.

The result is an editable starting point for a professional planning submission to council.

Depending on the application, the report can cover

  • Site, surrounds and existing land characteristics
  • Description of the proposed subdivision
  • Number and configuration of proposed lots
  • Lot areas and dimensions
  • Planning permit requirements, zone and overlay requirements
  • Clause 56 assessment where applicable
  • Access, servicing and easements
  • Planning merits, justification and conclusion

Planning assessment shouldn't start with a blank Word document.

The workflow is the same for both report types.

1

Drag & drop

Architectural plans, site plans, subdivision plans, title documents, supporting reports and development information.

2

PlanSuite assesses

PlanSuite reads the documents, understands the proposal and applies the planning controls affecting the land.

3

You review and refine

The draft is fully editable. You confirm the requirements, sharpen the argument and finalise the submission.
