What you upload
Whatever you would lodge with the City, as PDF or images. Scanned pages and photos are read too.
- The motivation report, if you have one (or start from the form and let Spluma Pro draft it)
- Site development plan, floor plans, sections and elevations
- Area and unit schedules
- Title deeds and SG diagrams for every erf
- The application form and power of attorney
- Any supporting reports: traffic, heritage, engineering services
Missing something? The scan says what is missing and why the City would ask for it, rather than guessing.
The six steps
Steps one to four make up the free scan. Five and six run when you unlock the application.
- 01
Facts file
AIFree scan- Reads
- Every document you uploaded.
- Produces
- One facts file: each figure exactly as each document states it, with the document and page it came from. Totals are recorded as stated, never corrected, so disagreements stay visible.
- 02
Rules engine
CodeFree scan- Reads
- The facts file and the DMS rules for the zone.
- Produces
- Floor factor, coverage, height, street and common boundary building lines per storey, and parking. Each limit shows the DMS item and table it comes from. Every departure is written in the City's "X m in lieu of Y m" wording, with a note on which one is cheapest to design out.
- 03
Consistency check
Code + AIFree scan- Reads
- The facts file, the rules engine's results and the text of the submission.
- Produces
- Totals against their breakdowns, figures stated two ways, blank deed numbers, departures needed but not applied for, legislation cited by the wrong year or section, skipped Section 99 considerations, missing annexures, and personal information the City would publish.
- 04
Title deed analysis
AIFree scan- Reads
- The title deeds and the proposal.
- Produces
- Each condition classified (who imposed it and what it restricts), tested against the proposal, with a recommendation to remove, amend or leave it, and drafted amended wording.
- 05
Drafter
AI + codeAfter you unlock- Reads
- Everything above, plus the proposal as you describe it on the form.
- Produces
- The motivation report, written to the Section 99 headings. The drafter can only reference figures; code fills them in. The schedule of applications and the annexure list are written by code.
- 06
Case officer and objectors
AIAfter you unlock- Reads
- The draft motivation.
- Produces
- A readiness score and verdict as a case officer would see it, the likely decision route, unsupported claims, and the objections neighbours are likely to raise. A draft that falls short goes back to the drafter once.

Units stated as 24, floors add to 23
CriticalThe report states 24 units, but the floor schedule gives 6 + 6 + 6 + 5 = 23. Every figure that depends on the unit count follows it.
Unit count
Parking departure applied for on the wrong requirement
CriticalAt 23 units in PT1 the DMS requires 29 bays, not 30. The parking departure shrinks by one bay once the totals are fixed.

What stays with you
Spluma Pro prepares. You decide.
Spluma Pro does not lodge anything, contact the City, or sign anything. You read the audit, accept or change each fix, edit the motivation, and lodge it under your name. Nobody can promise an application will be approved; the City decides on the merits. What Spluma Pro removes is the avoidable back-and-forth.
