One HTML table parser for the TechnologyOne-style registers many councils share. Put councils in this connector's config.councils as {state, lga, url, platform}. Empty URLs are not requested. A format change marks the run degraded.

Each council site has its own terms. Leave a URL blank until you have checked them.

Attribute: The council named on each record.

Address search uses a small sample index, not G-NAF. The file is not downloaded.

CC BY 4.0 plus an extra restriction: do not compile addresses for sending mail unless each address is verified by a second source. This product never builds mailing lists.

Not called. PLANNINGALERTS_ENABLE is ignored unless you have already accepted a commercial licence.

The community plan is non-commercial. Commercial use is a paid plan.

Attribute: Planning Alerts / OpenAustralia Foundation

Reads rss_feeds. Creates draft signals for review. Does not publish to agents by itself.

Depends on the feed. Drafts stay off the agent desk until you approve them.

Attribute: Each feed's own publisher. Shown on the draft before it is approved.

data.gov.au robots.txt is User-agent: * / Disallow: /. Those files were not downloaded. Townsville's own ArcGIS layer was checked separately and its newest lodgement was December 2023, so it was not stored as current.

Several council files are CC BY, including Kingston (VIC) advertised applications and Townsville MCU/ROL CSVs.

Attribute: The publishing council

802 major-development polygons. A query on 14 Nov 2026 showed lodgements up to 24 June 2026 and an extract date of 30 June 2026. One council, not New South Wales. Not stored.

The feature-service item has an empty licence field. Copyright text is 'City of Sydney'. The data hub says products are Creative Commons unless a dataset says otherwise. That is not specific enough to turn this on.

Attribute: City of Sydney

Attribute: NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure

Daily feed of DAs lodged on the NSW Planning Portal since 2019. The public catalogue asks you to email data.broker@environment.nsw.gov.au. This connector does not guess a URL. The map service DA_Tracking is a different, frozen extract and is not used here.

Attribute: City of Moreton Bay

The layer answers and includes named projects (for example Mount Peter, production date 14/02/2025). It is not enabled because the licence is not stated.

Not live. data.gov.au is not crawled: its robots.txt disallows the whole site. Adelaide's current-DA CSV is still a SQL login error, not a file. City of Playford's CC BY register on data.sa.gov.au was last modified in January 2017 and includes applicant name columns, so it was not stored.

No current state-wide machine-readable feed was verified. The Adelaide 'current DA' CSV returned a database error, not a file.

No row-level lot-supply feed was connected.

Reports and news, not a row-level open file that was verified.

Attribute: Victorian Planning Authority / Department of Transport and Planning

Not called. discover.data.vic.gov.au robots.txt disallows /api/, so the CKAN lookup is not used. The latest file on vic.gov.au is an xlsx under a path robots try to block with *.xls. Set VIC_LIQUOR_CSV_URL only if you have a CSV on a URL robots.txt allows.
