Apply

Get applications right before they’re lodged

myLot Apply gives applicants and their consultants a live, site-specific checklist from your planning scheme, then reads every document they upload and tells them what is missing, weak or contradictory before it reaches your counter.

TRUSTED BY COUNCILS THROUGHOUT AUSTRALIA

Better applications in. Faster assessments out.

Most DA delay is rework: the missing report, the plan that contradicts the statement, the deviation nobody justified. Apply catches it while the applicant can still fix it for free.

Every finding shows its source

Each requirement is marked satisfied, partially satisfied or not satisfied, with the reason, the clause it comes from and the page of the document it relies on. Applicants know exactly what to fix and why.

The same standard as council

Apply runs on the same engine as myLot Check. What the applicant sees before lodging is what your planners will see after. In council testing that engine found 100% of action notice issues on live applications.

Built for the people who lodge, and the people who receive

Apply is one half of a single system. Applicants get certainty. Councils get applications that arrive closer to assessment-ready, with the validation results attached.

A live checklist, not a PDF

Requirements come from the zone, overlays and application type for this exact site. Council decides which documents are mandatory for submission, per application type, and nothing can be lodged until they are satisfied.

Reads the plans, not the filenames

Apply reads the content of every document, including drawings and images, and matches it to the requirements for this application. A file with the right name is not the same as the right file, and Apply knows the difference.

Guided to the finish

An in-app assistant explains what is outstanding and why, responds to what has already been provided, and produces a fee estimate from your schedule. Applicants can pause, confirm something with council, and come back.

Trusted across Australian states and planning schemes

With proven adaptability across jurisdictions, planning schemes and complexities, myLot works across Australia from regional to metro and growth areas.

“With myLot, residents ask questions and get the information they need to make decisions earlier. And when they do talk to council, they’re more confident and know what they need to provide us.”
