Our view of ePlanning
ePlanning isn't one system. It's the whole life of a plan, from writing it, to answering questions about it, to deciding applications under it and learning how well it works.
The councils that get the most from it run every stage on one set of planning rules, so nothing is re-typed or re-interpreted along the way. Policy24 is where that set of rules lives.
What Policy24 gives you
For your council
- The plan and your other planning documents, accurate and up to date online.
- Changes made safely and published when you’re ready, with every change recorded.
- Plan changes shown openly alongside the operative plan.
- Fewer routine “what zone am I in?” calls and counter visits.
For the public
- Type an address and see the zones and the rules that apply.
- Read and search the whole plan, with definitions where they’re needed.
- Take away a property report to share with a builder, designer or lender.
- On any device, any time, looking like part of your council’s website.

Common questions
What is Policy24?
Policy24 is ePlanning software for councils in New Zealand and Australia. Council staff use it to keep the plan and other planning documents accurate and up to date online, and the public use it to see the planning rules that apply to a property and to read the plan.
What is ePlanning?
ePlanning is the use of digital tools across the whole life of a plan: writing and changing it, helping people understand it, deciding applications under it, and monitoring how well it works. It works best when every stage uses the same set of planning rules.
Can people see which rules apply to their property?
Yes. Anyone can type an address and see the zones and the rules that apply, narrow them to what they want to do, and download a report. It's a guide to the plan; the council still gives formal advice.
Does it work with our existing systems?
Yes. Policy24 connects to council property and GIS systems and shares the plan's rules with our other products. Talk to us about the systems you use.
Where is our data held?
In New Zealand or Australia, with each council's data kept separate. Your documents are never used to train AI models.
