Objective Corporation (ASX: OCL) has today announced that North Sydney Council has selected Objective Build, becoming the first Australian council to implement the purpose-built platform to transform development assessment regulatory approvals.
Objective Build will help North Sydney Council strengthen planning service delivery amid ongoing reform and increasing development assessment complexity. Integrating with Council’s existing technology environment and NSW Government planning services, the Objective Build platform will reduce administrative complexity, improve visibility across development applications and adapt as planning legislation and regulatory requirements change.
According to Andrea Breen, Global VP of Local Government Solutions at Objective, North Sydney Council has been a long-standing Objective customer. Council has worked alongside Objective and other NSW councils to help shape a next generation platform designed specifically for the local government planning environment.
“We are delighted to see that the first deployment of Objective Build will support a local government community of mixed density housing, diverse businesses and iconic landmarks.”
Olena Tulubinska, Director of Corporate Services of North Sydney Council said that strengthening the delivery of planning services for residents and ratepayers is a key priority for the council.
“Ensuring that we have the right housing to meet the needs of a growing population in our area is a critical pillar in our 2025-35 Community Strategic Plan. Implementing Objective Build will help us to provide efficient, transparent and accountable development assessments which is an important step in achieving this goal.
Tony Walls, Founder and CEO of Objective said “Building software to support the mission of highly regulated organisations is core to Objective’s DNA. We are delighted that North Sydney Council will deploy Objective Build to materially streamline the planning and building approval process. Housing supply is one of Australia’s most significant challenges, impacting governments, communities and generations of Australians. We are proud to have developed this breakthrough technology that helps families, communities and governments address this challenge.
North Sydney Council’s selection of Objective Build is a pivotal important milestone for Objective and our continued investment in planning and building technology.”
