Write new Greenlight scraper for Bellingen

[mlandauer]

This issue has been automatically created by PlanningAlerts for Bellingen Shire Council

It uses the scraper planningalerts-scrapers/multiple_masterview

Only close this issue once the authority is working again on PlanningAlerts. Otherwise a new issue will just automatically created. Also, if there is a duplicate issue close the other one in favour of this one.

to be more specific "Development Application (DA) Tracking The DA tracking service is currently unavailable.

Council is currently working on providing a new online tool to track development applications which will be available in late 2019.

If you have any questions regarding a development application please contact Customer & Business Services by telephone on 02 6655 7300 during business hours." https://www.bellingen.nsw.gov.au/development/development-application-da-tracking

As far as I can tell the authority is still not receiving data on PlanningAlerts. So, this issue shouldn't be closed. So, reopening

Wow they still don't have a new system :-( They're only publishing PDFs

[katska]

They're publishing the information on their website directly now https://www.bellingen.nsw.gov.au/development/public-exhibition

[mlandauer]

Looks like they have a new system now! See https://bellingen.greenlightopm.com/ This looks doable. Also looks a little familiar. I wonder if this system is being used elsewhere and whether we've written a scraper before.

Also looks to be used for:

• Horsham Rural City Council https://hrcc.greenlightopm.com/
• Mount Alexander Shire Council https://planning.mountalexander.vic.gov.au/OPMExt/public/main.aspx
• Ararat Rural City Council https://ararat.greenlightopm.com/planning
• Hobsons Bay City Council https://www.hobsonsbay.vic.gov.au/Services/Planning-Building/Find-a-planning-application-in-Greenlight (I found these by googling greenlightopm - there's bound to be a bunch more)

I think we should write another scraper to handle all of these

The news page of the people that make greenlight OPM appears to give a list of councils that are using greenlight:

• Pyrenees Council - https://pyrenees.greenlightopm.com/planning
• Golden Plains Shire Council - https://goldenplains.greenlightopm.com/search-advertising?appTypeID=1
• Swanhill Rural City Council - https://swanhill.greenlightopm.com/search-register?deptName=Planning
• Gannawarra Shire Council - https://gannawarra.greenlightopm.com/search-register?deptName=Planning
• Horsham Rural City Council - https://hrcc.greenlightopm.com/search-advertising?appTypeID=1
• Ararat Rural City Council - https://ararat.greenlightopm.com/search-advertising?appTypeID=1
• Bellingen Shire Council - https://bellingen.greenlightopm.com/search-advertising?appTypeID=1

• Kempsey Shire Council - https://kempsey.greenlightopm.com/search-advertising?appTypeID=1
• West Wimmera Shire Council - https://westwimmera.greenlightopm.com/search-advertising?appTypeID=1

The following seem to be using greenlight OPM but not for development applications:

• City of Greater Bendigo - https://bendigo.greenlightopm.com/
• Hindmarsh Shire Council - https://hindmarsh.greenlightopm.com/

I can't seem to find how these are using Greenlight OPM. Maybe it's not ready and public yet:

• Mildura Rural City Council
• Buloke Shire Council

[mlandauer]

Found one more by googling "greenlightopm":

• Moorabool Shire Council - https://moorabool.greenlightopm.com/search-register?deptName=Planning

Finally fixed by moving over to new greenlight scraper
