Is this a planning certificate or a survey?+
No. It is a research report compiled from public government and council records. It does not replace a council planning certificate (a section 10.7 certificate in NSW, for example), a registered survey, a title search or professional advice. Check anything you plan to rely on with the council or a licensed professional.
How current is the data?+
Each section states its source and the date its data was fetched, so you can see exactly how current it is. Government and council sources update on their own schedules, which is why the dates are printed rather than hidden.
What if the report fails to generate?+
If a report fails to generate, we refund it in full. You confirm the lot on a map before you pay, and a delivered report is final.
What is in the DXF?+
A DXF R12 file drawn in metres with the lot boundary and label, plus the building outlines, elevation contours, watercourses, water bores and hazard overlay layers your state publishes for that lot. It opens in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, BricsCAD, QGIS and most other CAD software.
Which states can I order in?+
Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT. Reports are not available in Western Australia or the Northern Territory yet. Zoning is included where the council publishes it, and land valuations for Queensland properties.
Does the report show easements?+
The report covers title details (lot, plan, area and tenure) but not the registered dealings on the title. Easements are recorded on the title and survey plan, so order a title search from your state's titles office when you need them.
How is the report delivered?+
By email, as a download link to one zip with the PDF and the DXF. The link works for 30 days. After that you can request a new link, and we keep the files for 90 days.
How do I pay?+
By card through Stripe's secure checkout: Visa, Mastercard or American Express. The price is $29 AUD including GST, paid once. You don't need an account.
Is the report included in a subscription?+
Yes. Every PlanInsight plan includes Site Reports for any property you look up. If you subscribe within 14 days of buying a report, using the same email, we credit the $29 to your account.
