made. Planning

Accelerate development. Protect statutory integrity.

The AI-native planning engine made to bridge the gap between developers and local government — without compromising either side. Every blueprint audit produces exact page-and-clause citations from the relevant LEP, DCP, and scheme.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is made. Planning for developers or for councils?

Both. It is a two-sided platform. Developers and consultants use it to test feasibility, predict RFIs, and prepare cleaner lodgements. Councils use it to triage DAs, summarise complex proposals, and pre-check compliance against their scheme. The same engine — different workspaces.

Which planning instruments does it cover?

Local Environmental Plans, Development Control Plans, and state planning instruments including SEPPs. Each council's scheme is ingested with full citation back to source clause and version, so findings remain defensible.

Does the AI make the assessment decision?

No. made. Planning is a copilot. It surfaces compliance gaps, predicts likely issues, and prepares the structured brief. Assessment decisions remain with the consent authority and the responsible planner. The platform is built to support statutory integrity, not bypass it.

How accurate is the RFI prediction?

Predictions are tuned per jurisdiction and proposal type and improve as the platform sees more lodgements for that council. Every prediction is paired with the underlying control or historical pattern it stems from, so users can judge it themselves.

How does the made. Ledger apply to made. Planning?

Every compliance finding made. Planning surfaces is cited back to the exact page, clause, and version of the LEP, DCP, SEPP, or scheme it relies on — and that citation is anchored to the made. Ledger as an immutable audit trail. Assessment officers, applicants, and the Land & Environment Court can verify each finding against the spatial linework and the source instrument before any RFI is issued.

Where is the data hosted?

Australian-hosted and sovereign, on the same architecture as every made. Platform. Data is ring-fenced and never used to train external public models. See the shared architecture.

The urban planning pipeline is broken on both sides.

For developers

Costly RFI delays from missed technicalities. Manual scheme cross-referencing against hundreds of pages of LEPs and DCPs. By the time a council comes back with questions, the holding cost on the site has already eaten into the project's margin.

For councils

made. Planning teams drowning in complex PDFs and repetitive administrative checks. Long DA queues, stretched assessment officers, and statutory clocks that don't stop. The hard judgment calls get less time than the paperwork that surrounds them.

Four capabilities. Two sides of the pipeline.

made. Planning is a two-sided ecosystem that acts as an intelligent copilot — automating scheme cross-referencing, spatial data extraction, and document compliance for everyone involved.

01

Automated Scheme Mapping

LEP & DCP cross-referencing, instantly

Drop a proposal in. made. Planning reads the relevant Local Environmental Plan, Development Control Plan, and state planning instruments — and tells you which controls apply, which are triggered, and where the proposal sits against each.

Key Benefits
  • Automatic identification of applicable LEP/DCP controls
  • Cross-reference with SEPPs and state planning instruments
  • Side-by-side compliance status for each control
  • Citations linked back to the source clause and version
02

Pre-Lodgement RFI Prediction

Catch the gaps before council does

Before you lodge, made. Planning predicts the requests for further information the council is most likely to raise — based on the controls in play, the proposal's documentation, and historical RFI patterns for the jurisdiction.

Key Benefits
  • Predictive RFI list per jurisdiction and proposal type
  • Document completeness check against council requirements
  • Holding-cost impact estimates for delay scenarios
  • Pre-lodgement checklist made for each council
03

Instant DA Triage & Summarisation

A council copilot for every DA

For council planning teams: every Development Application is summarised, classified, and pre-checked against scheme controls within minutes of lodgement. Assessment officers receive a structured brief, not a stack of unread PDFs.

Key Benefits
  • Plain-language DA summary in minutes
  • Triage by complexity, contention, and statutory clock
  • Automatic compliance pre-check against the scheme
  • Structured assessment brief for the officer
04

Multi-Modal Blueprint Analysis

Plans, BASIX, and spatial data — read together

made. Planning reads architectural drawings, BASIX certificates, GIS layers, and statements of environmental effects as one cohesive proposal. Setback, height, FSR, and overshadowing controls are checked against the actual drawings, not just the SoEE narrative.

Key Benefits
  • Drawing measurement and setback checks
  • BASIX and SEPP 65 cross-reference
  • Spatial data extraction from GIS layers
  • Inconsistency flagging between drawing and narrative

A copilot for both sides of the pipeline

For developers & consultants

  • Site feasibility against the scheme in minutes, not weeks
  • Pre-lodgement RFI prediction to close gaps before they cost you
  • Consistent compliance evidence across every submission
  • Faster approvals, lower holding costs, fewer surprises

For councils & assessment officers

  • Plain-language DA summaries the day they're lodged
  • Automatic scheme cross-check, so officers start from compliance gaps
  • Triage by complexity and statutory clock, not by lodgement order
  • More time on judgment calls and community outcomes

made. Planning doesn't decide outcomes. It clears the noise so the people who do can decide well.

What you get

Speed

Days of manual cross-referencing collapsed into minutes. DAs triaged the moment they're lodged. Holding costs cut.

Consistency

Every proposal assessed against the same control library, in the same way. Statutory integrity, system-wide.

Defensibility

Every compliance finding cited back to the source control and version. A clean audit trail for objectors, councillors, and the Land & Environment Court.

Runs on the made. Ledger

Every blueprint audit produces exact page-and-clause citations from the relevant LEP, DCP, and scheme — linking each finding directly to the spatial linework council can verify before issuing an RFI.
