From looking around, it seems they no longer publish this info in PDF form.

Found a PDF with the current development assessment panel applications linked to from https://www.dplh.wa.gov.au/about/development-assessment-panels/current-dap-applications-and-information
The PDF seems to mostly have addresses with just lot numbers so that looks pretty useless. Might be worth trying to see if the ESRI app that @CloCkWeRX mentioned above has an open API. ESRI, the application does but we need to find out if they open it for this particular case.
For the time being I'm just going to comment out the scraper so that it doesn't error at least (to try to reduce noise)
There is now a PDF, and a new permanent home for this information:
url: https://www.wa.gov.au/system/files/YYYY-MM/current-dap-applications.pdf
YYYY: Four digit current year MM: Two digit current month
I don’t have the skills to even consider updating the scraper, but would be good to see WA DAP data back in PlanningAlerts.
@mlandauer PDF scrapers out there now? :/ does this look doable?
