Updated November 2026: Development Projects now live on the Development Activity page, alongside development applications, with a Development Outlook summary, radius or suburb search and time-period filters. The steps below are current.
Development Projects now available in Stash
A vital aspect of the property development journey is searching and gathering all data needed for the prospect property. It’s totally awesome to see a lot of developments going on around us – be it a commercial one, industrial, or residential and so on.
As property development professionals are keen in searching all possible resources at hand, we’ve taken this opportunity to help them better through our existing features plus the newly released Development Projects feature powered by BCI Central which gives more in depth information of the Project details and Contact details.
We really want to add more value to every Stash user’s experience and are excited for you to do a spot check on this in our platform.

”Development Projects are a great way to get an understanding on what is coming down the development pipeline to see if projects are viable. It's a great way to get know who the local developers are in your area.

How significant is the Development Project in property development?
Development Projects help you understand active developments in the area while getting richer and detailed information for the property being developed. Data provided is aggregated from all councils and is generated from BCI Central. Finding a handful of profitable development projects is easy with property research and management platforms like Stash.
Unlike development projects, finding Development Applications was traditionally a timely process of scrolling through individual local council websites to hunt down relevant information for your property in question. Stash technology takes the time out of this process.
Development Projects add the larger projects in your area of interest, with their stage, value, new dwellings and contacts. Development applications lodged with councils sit on the same Development Activity page, on their own tab (see View recent development applications).
Stash works hand in hand with BCI Central!

Stash is proud and privileged to have this integration with the effort of being more efficient in providing wider scope of development project information to our customers and soon to be users – the property development professionals and investors across Australia. Moving forward, with BCI, Stash aims to provide authentic and up-to-date information to all.
