Disclaimer: Indicative estimates only for early due-diligence — not planning, legal or financial advice. Confirm controls, triggers and fees against the current planning scheme (planning-schemes.app.planning.vic.gov.au) and a VicPlan / Planning Property Report. Fees per the Planning and Environment (Fees) Regulations as updated 1 July 2025 (indexed annually). Garden area applies in GRZ and NRZ.

Embedded full assessment tool. The live address lookup needs the folder served over http — run python3 -m http.server in this folder and open the printed address. Manual entry & council selection work when opened directly.

No site linked — enter controls below or send one from Property Lookup.

Disclaimer: Indicative guidance only. Whether a permit is required depends on the exact proposal, the zone/schedule, overlays and exemptions in the planning scheme, and the Building Regulations. Always confirm with the council's planning and building departments (or a registered building surveyor) before relying on this.

A planning-intelligence platform that turns Victoria's planning scheme into fast, defensible answers for the people who build the city — developers, architects, builders and councils.

tools shipping under one hub (this product)

1 · Problem

Victorian planning is high-stakes, slow and opaque. A developer can spend tens of thousands on consultants before learning a site won't yield. Architects lose days assembling ResCode tables and town-planning reports by hand. Builders can't tell whether they need a planning permit or just a building permit. Councils are under-resourced and assessing against a 1,000-page scheme. Everyone is working the same controls from scratch, every time.

2 · Solution

Resi Set Go is a single web hub of focused tools that share one planning-data spine. Enter a site once and the platform identifies the controls, runs the relevant calculations (yield, ResCode, feasibility, fees), scores approval risk, and drafts the documents — each tool tuned to a specific user but drawing on the same engine.

3 · Market

Primary market is Victoria: property developers (from single-site to volume), architecture and town-planning practices, building companies, and the 79 councils. Adjacent expansion is the rest of Australia, since every state runs an analogous (if differently worded) planning system — the engine generalises, the rules localise.

4 · Customer Segments & Jobs

Developers — "should I buy this site, and what can I build?" Feasibility, yield, planning risk. Highest willingness to pay.
Architects / planning agents — "get this application approved with fewer RFIs." ResCode tables, reports, RFI responses. Highest volume.
Builders — "do I even need a planning permit?" Trigger checks, condition compliance. Land-and-expand entry point.
Councils — "assess this consistently and fast." Delegate reports, condition libraries. Credibility and data anchor.

5 · Product & Roadmap

Now (live): Developer Feasibility tool, Clause 55 ResCode assessor.
Next: Property Lookup (address → controls) as the shared data layer; Builder permit-check; Council delegate-report generator.
Later: Plan-reading auto-fill (extract setbacks/coverage from drawings), Clause 58 apartments, VCAT precedent search, multi-site portfolio dashboard.

6 · Go-to-Market

Lead with the developer tool (clear ROI, fast word-of-mouth among buyers' agents and small developers), then pull architects in through the ResCode tool as a daily-use wedge. Council is a slower, relationship-led enterprise sale that also legitimises the data. Channels: direct outbound to developers and practices, planning-industry networks and CPD events, and content/SEO around "can I build / do I need a permit" queries.

7 · Competition & Moat

Incumbents are generic property-data portals (zoning maps without judgement) and traditional consultants (accurate but slow and expensive). Resi Set Go sits between: instant, opinionated, scheme-aware outputs across the whole permit lifecycle. The moat compounds with a shared site database, accumulated precedent/outcome data, and tools that get more useful the more of the workflow they own.

8 · Business Model

Subscription SaaS with per-persona tiers, plus pay-as-you-go reports for occasional users and enterprise seats for councils and larger practices. Detailed costing and pricing is in the Costing & Pricing tab.

9 · Key Risks

Accuracy & liability — outputs are decision-support, not advice; disclaimers, audit trails and "verify against scheme" guardrails are built in.
Data dependency — relies on planning-scheme and property data; mitigate with official sources and clear update cadence as fees/controls change annually.
Regulatory change — the scheme evolves; the engine is versioned so rules can be updated centrally (see version log).
Adoption inertia — professionals trust existing workflows; counter with a free entry tool and undeniable time savings.
