Software that does everything you used to do on paper. Except smarter, faster, more accurately - and with better governance.
We’re here to change that. Objective Trapeze has all the tools planners need to assess and approve development applications efficiently and accurately. Any and all paper handling, measurements, calculations, mark-ups, stamping (and more) are done digitally in one application that integrates seamlessly with your eDRMS.
Reduce processing and determination times. Bring down the cost and effort required by councils. Achieve better outcomes for the community through faster response times and better communication. And support efficient delivery of new housing and development.
Easily perform even the most complex measurements, calculations and assessments to evaluate compliance with relevant legislation and planning instruments. Save hours of time and never miss a thing when comparing plans with powerful document compare functionality.
Flag issues and non-compliance, highlight amendments and keep track of your measurements with a variety of customisable mark-up tools. Work more effectively with applicants, internal experts and referral agencies in a visual manner for easier communication.
Fast track the approval process by applying custom digital stamps that pull metadata from your eDRMS, such as reference numbers and names of assessors. A 100-page application can be stamped in a few mouse clicks.
Empowering planners with fit-for-purpose digital tools increases your council’s ability to process more development applications, faster, without additional headcount. Better quality assessments mitigate the risk of costly and damaging development ‘surprises’ down the track.
Cutting out paper boosts employee satisfaction and drives positive environmental impact. Faster development approvals improve the council's appeal to investors, delivering substantial economic benefits.
Eliminate paper, reduce cost and streamline your workflow by ensuring documents born digital, stay digital, through tight integration with your eDRMS. Avoid version confusion and work confidently, knowing your information governance is managed in the background.
A smarter, more efficient and 100% digital development assessment and approval process leads to significant benefits for applicants - from enabling online lodgement, enhanced communication with the council, better experience throughout the process, to faster approval times.
The efficiency improvements delivered by Objective Trapeze help councils keep up with the demands of bigger volumes of applications, often with the same amount of internal resources, whilst delivering sound planning outcomes. This translates into direct economic benefits for the council region, driving investment to the area, supporting population growth and generating jobs and wealth.
