Enquire, Apply, Lodge, Assess
Using the power of the Internet, MasterPlan demystifies the complex planning and development process by only presenting relevant information on the type of land use being proposed on a specific property. Putting together a Development Application can be an expensive and stressful experience, particularly for novice applicants.
The MasterPlan Suite is made up of four inter-related modules; MasterPlan Enquirer, MasterPlan Self Assessor, MasterPlan Applicant and MasterPlan Assessor.
MasterPlan delivers certainty;
-
User Friendly interface - easy-to-use search screens take users through a complex process – SIMPLY
-
Planning information is derived from existing “endorsed” planning instruments – no changes necessary
-
Enquirer delivers only the controls that apply to a specific development on a particular property – enabling more accurate Development Applications
-
Self Assessor builds on from the Enquirer process allowing a user to work through all the related issues associated with a simple planning application.
-
Applicant provides a pre-populated electronic lodgment environment that incorporates all of the controls and conditions that apply to a proposed development. These are generated from the Enquirer process seamlessly for the user and ensures that a well made application is lodged by the applicant.
-
Assessor allows for Council assessment officers to assess applications online using controls generated from the Enquirer process. It means applications are assessed consistently and efficiently every time, with only the application planning controls being displayed. Integrated with the Applicant module Council planners are provided with all the relevant information related to the application – Reports to Council are automatically produced as part of the assessment process
-
Full audit capability to understand what decisions were made, by who and why.
MasterPlan delivers exactly what consumers of planning information are seeking - certainty, transparency and accountability from initial development proposal, to electronic assessment and electronic lodgment.
As well as providing significant benefits to external users, MasterPlan also provides many benefits to internal users. It is the only e-Planning application on the market to provide a COMPLETE online consent tracking and online approval solution with the added capability of producing a formatted and styled printable planning scheme – an Australian first!
From a pre-lodgement enquiry, to preparing an application, to lodgement and full on-line internal assessment InfoMaster provides a complete solution.
Coupled with our ability to track any consent application associated with a development, InfoMaster can truly provide a fully tailored solution to meet your business needs.
The Difference…
Most planning schemes are available only as hard copy or PDF documents making it nearly impossible to search for information relevant to specific developments or property alterations. MasterPlan is different!
The planning scheme is broken down into manageable sections that allows the association of one or more details of the planning scheme to be associated with different development application types. This means that MasterPlan can deliver only the parts of the plan applicable to a specific development application.
Users are directed only to the planning regulations applicable to their specific development, saving time and money. Users can feel confident that the information they are being provided with is accurate as it has been setup by Council planners. Available online 24x7 it is just like having your own personal Council Planning Officer available at anytime to answer your planning related questions.
