## Description

Planning Alerts is a free public service that helps people across Australia discover development proposals in their local communities. Run and maintained by the OpenAustralia Foundation, the searchable collection brings together planning applications from Australian local governments, making it easier to see what may be built or demolished nearby. Users can search by street address or current location to find applications within a two-kilometre radius. They can also sign up for email alerts about new applications and submit public comments for consideration by councils. The site highlights frequently discussed proposals and publishes activity figures, giving visitors a view of community interest and recent submissions. Planning Alerts also provides an API, alongside information about its coverage, data sources, and source code. Its purpose is to make planning information more accessible and support public participation in local decisions. The service is part of the OpenAustralia Foundation’s collection of public-interest digital resources and relies on donations and supporters to help keep the library available to the public.
