Location – Help Centre

Urpla uses AI-assisted automation to provide you with an instantaneous property search from the applicable Local, State and Federal Government.

Enter the property address once.

To start a new development application, search for a property address. The property will be highlighted on the map. You can also add multiple addresses by searching for additional properties or simply selecting an area on the map.

Urpla’s search and research function directly link with Federal, State, and local planning and overlay mapping. The Urpla app will return property information and a list and associated maps of all planning and overlay triggers applicable to the property selected. For reference, these can always be found in the Planning Summary (in the top right of the screen).

Urpla automatically schedules and formats the applicable property information and planning and overlay triggers in the report, and attaches associated maps in report appendices.

What you will find here:

Property search field:			Search for a property by address or Lot and plan number. Switch between address or Lot and plan number using the drop-down on the left side of the search field.
Map:			Select single or multiple properties from the map simply by clicking or searching the property.
Property details:			Each searched or selected property identification is contained in the roll-up list to the right of the map. Each or any selected property can be removed by clicking the “bin” icon on the corresponding property list. The three icons labelled Local, State, Federal either display as “green ticks” representing successful retrieval of data from the source. If any of these icons display a “refresh” icon the retrieval of data from the source has been interrupted and needs to be tried again. Click the “refresh” icon to retrieve the source data.
Planning Summary:			A formatted list of the applicable planning, overlay, and mapping triggers applicable to the selected property. The Planning Summary continues to populate and update throughout the process providing the user with a quick reference to key planning, overlay, and mapping triggers, development proposal details, maps and resources for the assessment including relevant codes.
