It could link to satelite mapping and Zoning maps, so all Zoning Laws, local building codes and everything would be able to be done on the software.
You would then be able to scan your designand if it passed the scan for on Code and within zoning laws you could then just pay the fee to the website online for an approval number and then Print out your approved plans with the approval number on them.
That could then take days only to do a full design and just seconds for a building approval.
I also suggested that Zoning upgrades could be applied for online if criteria met in the design.
It would then mean the website could issue Zoning upgrades and collect fees for the zoning approval and DA and BA approvals.
It would be a cash cow for governments because they could gouge for the zoning upgrade fees and relaxation fees.
The 3 million for the software would net them a billion in fees and get projects and develpments going all over the place.
The other Ida I got a good reply letter from Treasury about was my suggestion to make finance available for develpments at 0% until the dwellings are in service, meaning interest on the debt only becomes charged once owners move into the property and its in use.
That would mean we could build years in advance and use slower but better building methods because the cost of capital in Time is 0%pa.
Its the same as Printing a pallet of Cash notes. They arnt effective until those notes are written into circulation and in use.
While the plastic notes are still in buckets of plastic its not costing the bank interest on that cash while the notes are being made are they. The notes even when printed arnt costing anyone interest. So the production of a pallet of 100 dollar notes isnt costing interest on each 100 dollar note while its still a big roll of plastic and not printed.
So why should a massive building development that takes 5 years to build be costing the developer 6% per year for 5 years costing 30% on top of the develpment cost just to pay the bank for the cost of capital.
The development shoudlbe able to be done on 0% cost of capital just like how printing notes dosnt cost interest while the plastic notes are still in the production stage, the notes dont bear interest until they are sold into use from digital form into hard cash.
So Building development should be on 0% to build and develop and only pay interest when someone buys a Unit and moves in when its in use,
I hope that explanation makes sense, but it would save alot in production of dwellings.

Zoning around all trainstation should be allow for +20 stories. Down with heritage, nimbys, yuppies, and Geffory Rush (blocked apartment/office development in Camberwell).
Building approval in seconds.
Danger, Danger, Danger, Will Robinson.
If the fire in that UK apartment block has shown me anything is that building approvals can't be rushed.
