About Planning Alerts
We help Australians stay informed about what's being built near their homes and workplaces — for free.
Our mission
Planning Alerts was built on a simple idea: every Australian deserves to know what's happening in their neighbourhood. Whether it's a new development next door, a commercial project down the street, or a major infrastructure proposal nearby — you have a right to know and a right to have your say.
We aggregate planning and development applications from council portals across Australia and deliver timely alerts straight to your inbox, completely free of charge.
