# Policy24 (eplanning.nz)

> Policy24 is ePlanning software for councils in New Zealand and Australia, made by ViceVersa, a New Zealand company. Council staff use it to keep the plan and other planning documents accurate and up to date online and to publish changes with confidence; the public use it to type an address and see the planning rules that apply to a property, read the plan, and download a property report.

Key facts:
- Audience: councils and planning authorities in New Zealand and Australia (policy and district plan teams, planning managers, duty planners, IT and procurement).
- Policy24 provides ePlanning for the State of South Australia, covering all 68 of its councils, and is used by councils across New Zealand.
- For councils: plans and policy documents managed and published online; changes reviewed and published when the council is ready; every change recorded; proposed plan changes shown alongside the operative plan; fewer routine planning enquiries.
- For the public: property enquiry by address showing zones and the rules that apply; narrow results to an activity such as building a dwelling or subdividing; read and search the whole plan with definitions; download or email a property report; works on any device.
- Fits the council: branded to the council, runs as its own page or inside the council website, and can publish several plans.
- Policy24 is a guide to the plan; councils still give formal planning advice.
- Hosting and data: hosted in New Zealand or Australia on Microsoft Azure; each council's data kept separate; documents never used to train AI models.
- Connected products from the same company, built on the same planning rules: Consult24 (consultation and submissions), Assess24 and Lara (planning assessment and enquiries), Track24 (capital works delivery).
- ViceVersa's view of ePlanning: the whole life of a plan, Plan, Know, Decide, Monitor and Improve, run on one set of planning rules.
