How do I track development applications in Oberon?
You can search applications one at a time on Oberon's own DA portal, but it won't tell you when something changes. PlanInsight monitors every development application lodged in Oberon and alerts you when new applications appear or an application's status changes — alongside property titles, lot and plan details, and planning data for the same property.
Does Oberon have an official DA tracker?
Yes. Oberon publishes development applications through its official online DA search. It's free to use for one-off lookups. PlanInsight works from the same public records and adds what the portal doesn't: change alerts, application history in one timeline, and property title data — with a link back to the council's original record on every application.
How often is Oberon DA data updated?
PlanInsight fetches DA data for Oberon directly from the council's published records, and tracked properties are re-checked for changes. Every property view shows when its data was last fetched, so you always know how fresh it is — you're seeing what Oberon has published, not a stale copy.
What information does PlanInsight show for each DA in Oberon?
For each development application in Oberon you'll see the application number, type, status and lodgement date, with a direct link to the source record on the council's portal. Each property also includes its lot and plan numbers, land area, tenure type and an interactive boundary map, plus one-click NSW government planning reports.
