I’ve just launched a free tool that lets you search for development applications across the ACT by suburb. The tool shows recently lodged DAs, applications open for public comment, and the full five-year DA history for any Canberra suburb.

Data comes directly from ACT Planning and updates weekly. Each search includes an interactive map showing DA locations colour-coded by stage. Useful for homeowners researching their area and builders tracking development activity. Try it at abacus.remely.com.au/ACTDASearch.
