Planning Permits/Development Applicaitons - what you need to know

Planning permits/development applications (DA’s) indicate that development activity in your area is underway, council-approval pending. Having a handle on local development applications and their status gives you that competitive edge when you’re seeking prospective sales opportunities.

How you can use Permit/Development Application Filtering

Stay ahead of the game by tracking approved and pending permits in your locality. A quick permit search using Landchecker’s traffic light filtering system presents you with a single map-view of all approved, pending or rejected planning permits and development applications in your area, so that you can keep abreast of up and coming properties on the market. Filter by the date the permit was lodged, or the outcome date. Narrow down your search to developments that present listing opportunities for you, eg. “subdivision”.

How you can use Permit/Development Application Alerts

So that you can jump on opportunities as soon as they arise, request to have your selected permit/development application alerts emailed directly to you, either daily or weekly. Let Landchecker take care of this aspect of your prospecting for you so you don’t miss a beat!
