Microburbs.com.au displays them in an easy to read list.\\n\\nIf you are interested in investing in an area or you own a property in an area, you may from time to time want to see the development applications for that area. Traditionally, you need to go to council in order to do this. However I have discovered how to see the development applications for an area for free, online, using a great free tool.\\n\\nSo we are going to be using a free tool that is called Microburb, which you can check out at Microburbs.com.au. Now, this tool gives you a whole bunch of different information on the demographics of the area, commute times, like rankings of schools and all that sort of stuff. But one of the things that it also does is it gives you development proposals for the area. So let us go ahead and have a look at Lindfield in New South Wales, which is the suburb they recommend, and it is going to bring up a lot of different reports. There is affluence score, where we can go in and see the public housing for the area; family schools, you can see the schooling in the area; you can see so many different things. But we want to go to the investor data section.\\n\\nNow we want to go to the planning applications section, and if we click here we can see 14 more. And so now we can see all the planning applications for the area, and we can see when those planning applications were submitted. We can see a more recent one here, alterations and additions to an existing dwelling on the 22nd of January, 2016. We can see them all the way back to one in 2010, in May 2010; alterations and additions including a kitchen-laundry bi-fold doors, deck, garage, front fence and gates.\\n\\nSo you can see the planning proposals that are here, you can see what they are. We can see one here: addition to the first story, dwelling development, internal changes. You can see a brief overview of what they are about. So you can see all the planning applications that are there, and also they have another section down the bottom - if we go to local government area statistics and we go to development, there we can see a breakdown of the different development applications or developments that have happened in the area. So we can see alterations that have happened, we can see new houses, we can see commercial properties, new multi-units and some other sections as well.\\n\\nIf we go down we can see them ranked by price; how much did they cost to do. Obviously, multi-units are going to be $1 million to $5 million, or $5 million plus, whereas alterations to your house will be less than $100,000. And something that is really interesting is you can see the residential development intent, this line graph here, so you can see how many developments have been happening. And so we can see single houses: 17, 23, 16, 14; so we can see the graph there. We can see attached houses - the ones there; and we can see units as well.\\n\\nAnd so given that these graphs are showing 225 to 10, even in houses 22, single houses 18, obviously this report for the planning applications for the area is not going to cover everything. But this graph is really cool because you get to see the trends in the area, so for something like Lindfield, this goes back to 2013 by the looks of it. And so we can see back in mid-2014 that there was a lot of unit applications, and so what we would then do - we can see the drop off here, is then kind of track that and see how is that affecting the area,'
