Build Radar

Terms of service

Last updated 10 November 2026

These terms cover your use of Build Radar, a service run by Orchard Co (“we” or “us”). By signing up or subscribing you agree to them.

What Build Radar is

A weekly list of NSW building projects, built from the NSW Planning Portal's public open data: development applications, complying development certificates and post-consent (construction) certificates. Source: NSW Planning Portal open data (Online DA, Online CDC and Online PCC data APIs), NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure, licensed under CC BY 4.0. We add a work type inferred from each application's development types. We're not affiliated with the NSW Government, the Planning Portal or any council. It is general information, not planning, legal or building advice.

Accuracy

The data is as published on the Planning Portal, usually a day or two old. Costs are as estimated by the applicant. Work types are our best reading and will sometimes be wrong. Applications can be withdrawn, refused or changed. Check anything that matters with the council or on the Planning Portal.

How you may use the data

  • Use it in your own business: finding work, planning, market research.
  • If you contact people at listed properties, you're responsible for complying with the law, including the Spam Act 2003, the Do Not Call Register Act 2006 and the Privacy Act 1988 where it applies. Be respectful: these are often people's homes.
  • Don't resell or republish the feed, or share your feed link or exports outside your business.
  • Don't use it to harass anyone or to identify or track a person.

Plans and payment

  • Paid plans are billed monthly in advance in Australian dollars through Stripe, and renew until you cancel.
  • Cancel any time from your feed page (“Manage billing”). You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.
  • Refunds are covered in our refund policy. We may change prices with at least 30 days' notice by email.

Your rights under Australian law

Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law that can't be excluded. Subject to those rights, the feed is provided as is, and our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the previous three months.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms and will email paying subscribers about material changes. They're governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. Questions: hello@buildradarau.com.
