Know what you can actually build

Most homeowners spend thousands on a consultant just to find out if their idea is allowed. Develpr gives you that answer first, fast, and specific to your block.

You have a clear idea for your home. What you do not have is a clear answer on whether it is allowed. The rules are spread across your council's LEP and DCP, written for planners, not people. So most homeowners either guess, or pay thousands for a consultant just to find out if the idea is even worth chasing. Develpr gives you that answer first.

What we help with

Using a property for a different purpose than its current approval. Common ones we handle:

Granny flats and secondary dwellings

Want a second dwelling for family, rent or resale? Find out if your block qualifies and whether you can do it as fast-tracked complying development.

Extensions and second storys

Adding space or going up a level? See the height, setback and floor space rules that apply to your property.

Knockdown rebuilds

Starting fresh? Know what you can build before you commit to a builder or a design.

Duplexes and dual occupancies

Thinking two dwellings instead of one? Check if your block has the size and zoning to make it work.

Subdivisions

Sitting on a big block? Find out if you can split it and what is involved.

Pools, sheds and outbuildings

Planning a pool, garage, shed or carport? Many are fast-tracked as complying development. Find out what you can add without a full DA.

What you get

A clear answer, not a pile of documents

You will know:

  • What you can build on your property

  • Whether it is a development application (DA) or a fast-tracked complying development (CDC) pathway

  • The key rules and constraints on your block

  • The next step to take

Got Any Questions?

Weve heard it all. Heres everything you need to know before working with us.

Do I need a DA for a commercial development?

Often, yes, though some works fit a faster pathway and some are exempt. It depends on the site, the zone and the scope. We confirm exactly what applies on the strategy call.

How long do commercial approvals take?

It varies with council and complexity. We give you a realistic timeframe upfront and manage the process to keep it moving.

Can you handle the whole process, including consultants?

Yes. We coordinate the documentation, the consultants and the council liaison end to end, so you have one team accountable for the outcome.

Can you work with our architect or builder?

Absolutely. We partner with your existing team and slot into the project, handling the planning and approval side while they focus on design and delivery.

Where do you work?

Across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, with projects delivered in NSW, QLD and VIC.
