Check out the new online, AI‑powered tool that provides instant and reliable development guidance.
Whether you’re thinking about adding a shed, building a granny flat, renovating your home or starting something bigger, the AI Development Assistant is designed to make early planning easier.
It helps you understand what applications may be required, without needing technical knowledge or full plans upfront.
Support from first ideas to early decisions
Planning home improvements can be stressful, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the development process. The AI Development Assistant gives you the ability to explore options at a time that suits you, including after hours and on weekends.
Residents can use the tool to get answers about what’s possible on their land—such as building a house, adding a granny flat, extending a deck, or renovating. By guiding you through key questions, the assistant helps identify what development applications may be needed and how to avoid potential delays.
The tool delivers fast, tailored information so you can make confident early decisions before investing in designs or consulting a professional.
