How to filter planning permit information

Planning permit allows you to check local pending, approved and rejected permits/DA's to get a feel for what's going on in the vicinity. Use the permit/DA filters to filter by keywords such as 'subdivision' and 'multi-level' to see what local council has approved nearby.
