How it works

Every council, one place.
Structured for decisions.

Lodgd pulls from NSW government planning registers and spatial databases — the same authoritative sources professionals rely on. All 128 councils, consolidated and kept current.

01

Every council, one place

Lodgd pulls from NSW government planning registers and spatial databases — the same authoritative sources professionals rely on. All 128 councils, consolidated and kept current.

02

Structured for decisions

Raw planning data is messy. Lodgd organises every proposal into searchable fields — zone transitions, proponent, key dates, coordinates — and adds AI analysis that explains what each proposal means in plain English.

03

Intelligence, not just information

Each proposal gets approval signals based on council track record, timing benchmarks against NSW averages, and comparable precedents from similar Made proposals. You're not just reading data — you're reading context.

Who it's for

Built for property
professionals who act on data.

Developers

Find out what's being rezoned before the land price moves. See which councils are actively upzoning, what zone transitions they approve, and where proposal activity is clustering — so you can target the right sites at the right time.

Investors

Understand a site's development potential without hiring a consultant. Zoning, FSR, height limits, heritage, lot size, and every active proposal or DA nearby — one click on the map.

Planning Consultants

Research what gets approved before you lodge. Same zone transition, same council, same framing — find comparable Made precedents and build evidence-based strategy from real outcomes.

Property Lawyers

Full planning context for any site in NSW. Exhibition windows, gateway timelines, heritage overlays, stage history, and council approval patterns — current and comprehensive.

Research

What you can research.

The database is queryable across every dimension. Here's what professionals use it for.

Earliest signal

Pre-Exhibition Proposals

The earliest signal of where development is heading. Proposals that have been lodged but aren't yet open for public submission. This is the window before sites reach the market and before the uplift is priced in. Filter by council, zone destination, and precinct.

Made Precedents

Search 0+ Made proposals by zone transition, council, proponent, and year. Understand what your target council has approved, how long approval took, and which proponents have the strongest track records.

Stage Change History

Every stage movement across all 128 councils. Filter by stage, direction, council, or date range to track how proposals are progressing — and get personalised alerts the moment a proposal you're watching moves.

Approval Signals & Timing

Each proposal gets approval signals (council track record, type alignment, gateway status) and timing intelligence vs NSW benchmarks — showing how long it's been at each stage relative to the NSW median.

Council Intelligence

Full profiles for all 128 councils: approval rates, speed rankings, which types get approved and how fast, zone transition history, and proponent track records — all computed from real outcomes.

Personalised Alerts

Configure alert rules by council, stage, zone transition, and keyword. Get matched to new proposals and stage changes as they happen — or a curated morning brief every day. Every alert is filtered to what you actually care about.

Site Assessment

Click any point on the map and instantly see zoning, FSR, height limit, heritage status, and lot boundaries. The entire first-pass feasibility check — in one click.

DA Tracker

600,000+ development applications across every NSW council. Filter by status, application type, and address. View DAs on the map alongside planning proposals to see the full picture of development activity.

Activity Concentration Map

See where proposal activity is clustering across NSW. Automatically identified concentrations of active proposals — mapped and tracked over time. Spot emerging precincts before they're publicly discussed.

Watchlist & Notes

Track specific proposals through the planning system and attach private notes — assessment, next steps, client context — directly alongside the structured data. Your research stays organised inside the same tool you use to find it.

FAQ

Common questions.

Everything you need to know about NSW planning proposals and how Lodgd works.

A planning proposal is a formal request to amend a Local Environmental Plan (LEP) — the instrument that controls land use zones, building heights, and floor space ratios across a NSW local government area. If approved, it permanently changes what can be built on the affected land. Planning proposals are processed under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and move through stages from Pre-Exhibition through to Made (gazetted). Read our full guide to the NSW planning proposal process →
A "Made" proposal is one that has been gazetted — the LEP amendment has been formally published in the NSW Government Gazette and is now law. The rezoning is legally effective. This is the final successful outcome of the planning proposal process. Lodgd's database contains 0+ Made proposals with zone transition data, proponent information, and approval timing going back years.
Gateway determination is a formal decision by the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) on whether a planning proposal has sufficient strategic and site-specific merit to proceed to public exhibition. It's the most important milestone in the planning proposal lifecycle — proposals that receive a positive gateway determination are substantially more likely to be Made than those that remain at Pre-Exhibition. Read our gateway determination guide →
Transport Oriented Development (TOD) precincts are areas around NSW train stations where the state government's TOD SEPP 2023 allows medium and high density development as complying development — without a merit-based DA. The program covers dozens of stations across Greater Sydney and overrides local council height and density controls within designated precinct boundaries. TOD precincts generate dense clusters of planning proposal activity. Read our TOD precincts guide →
Lodgd monitors all 128 NSW local government areas (LGAs) — every council that publishes planning proposals on the NSW Planning Portal. This includes all Greater Sydney metro councils, regional NSW councils (Newcastle, Central Coast, Wollongong, Illawarra, Hunter, Northern Rivers, Central West), and rural shires. No NSW council is excluded.
The NSW Planning Portal is the government's official register — it lists proposals but doesn't structure, enrich, or make them searchable in the ways professionals need. Lodgd sits on top of the Portal and adds: structured zone transition data, AI summaries, proponent identification, geocoded coordinates, stage change history, council approval rates, comparable precedent matching, personalised alerts, site assessments, and interactive mapping with planning overlays. The Portal tells you a proposal exists; Lodgd tells you what it means.
Lodgd constantly monitors the NSW Planning Portal. New proposals and stage changes are detected and added to the database as they appear. AI analysis runs on newly detected proposals. Personalised alerts are sent as new activity is detected. The data is always current.
Lodgd is currently in open beta and free to use. Create an account to access the full database, search tools, council profiles, Made precedents, site assessments, interactive map, and personalised alerts. No credit card required.
