About ZoneDSS
ZoneDSS is a planning intelligence engine that helps people make confident property decisions. Whether you're buying your first home, planning a renovation, assessing a development site, or screening DAs at council — we give you the planning data you need to decide with confidence.
Who we serve
Property buyers and owners
You're about to make one of the biggest financial decisions of your life — or you already own a property and want to know what's possible. ZoneDSS tells you what you can build, what constraints apply, and what changed since last year. In plain English, with no planning jargon.
Developers and investors
Before you commit capital, you need to know every applicable control and every constraint. ZoneDSS resolves them all for any site in seconds — height limits, setbacks, heritage, environmental overlays, State policy overrides — scored by approval likelihood.
Planners, architects, and lawyers
You know planning instruments. What you need is speed and completeness — every applicable control with clause references, every SEPP override identified, every DCP requirement resolved for the specific lot. ZoneDSS does in seconds what takes hours of manual cross-referencing.
Councils and government
Automated pre-DA screening, officer consistency, workload prioritisation, and policy impact modelling. ZoneDSS helps councils assess DAs faster, ensure consistent decisions, and understand how policy changes affect controls across their LGA.
What makes us different
We read the instruments so you don't have to
Other tools link you to the PDF and leave you to read it. We've already read every clause of every instrument we cover — LEP, SEPP, DCP — and extracted every individual requirement. When you enter an address, you get the answer, not a document to interpret.
Reports tailored to your role
A home buyer needs plain English and "what to ask your solicitor." A planner needs clause references and compliance tables. A developer needs feasibility data and risk scores. We deliver the same underlying planning intelligence in a format that matches how you actually work.
Every answer cited to source
Every claim we make links to a specific clause in a specific instrument. You can verify every answer against the source document. No black boxes, no unattributed summaries, no guesswork.
Who's behind ZoneDSS
Dr. Ali Ershadi
Founder & CEO
Built ZoneDSS to solve a problem he saw across every regulated industry: important decisions are delayed because the rules are scattered across documents that take experts to interpret. He built AuditDSS to automate regulatory compliance analysis across 25 industries, and ZoneDSS applies the same approach to planning — giving everyone from home buyers to council officers the data they need to make confident decisions.
