Who receives the DAconnect email

Will I be the only business of my type
We aim to keep competition low and relevance high. While we can't always guarantee exclusivity by trade, each development is shared with a strictly limited group of businesses—never more than 14 in total.
Where will my business be placed
Business placement within each DAconnect email is randomly ordered for every send. This ensures fairness across campaigns.
Can I cancel at any time

Is this spam
No. DAconnect operates in full compliance with Australian communications and spam legislation. Each Development Application contact address is emailed once only.
