Site analysis

The site analysis, done before the first sketch.

Search the address and get the constraints an architect or planner collects before concept design, for one lot, with dated sources and the site drawn in CAD. An hour of tabs, done in minutes.

What you get

Every constraint, one lot, one PDF.

The report checks the sources a site analysis needs and prints each one with its date. Where a source has nothing published for the lot, the section says so, so you know what was looked at.

Title and boundary

Lot and plan, land area, tenure and the cadastral boundary with building outlines.

Zone and overlays

The planning zone and every hazard overlay on the lot, with the share of the block each one covers.

Slope and drainage

Contours at the finest interval the state publishes, with watercourses and mapped water bores.

Development history

DAs on the lot and nearby, linked to the council records, so you can see what has been approved and refused.

Design rainfall

The BOM 2016 IFD table for the exact site, with climate change factors to 2090.

The site in CAD

A layered DXF with the boundary, buildings, contours, watercourses and overlays, drawn in metres.

Where it works

Sold in every state and territory. Zoning is included where we can read the council or state zoning data, which in Queensland means the councils on our coverage page, and the ACT has no state contour data yet. You see what the report will include before you pay.

Site Report · $29

The site analysis, as a $29 report.

Compiled from public state and council records, dated on every section, delivered as a PDF and a DXF.

  • Title details: lot and plan, land area and tenure
  • Zoning, where the council publishes it
  • Flood, bushfire and other hazard overlays, where mapped
  • Development application history for the lot
  • Contours and elevation
  • Land valuation (Queensland and New South Wales properties)
  • A CAD-ready DXF: property boundary, building outlines, watercourses, water bodies, water bores, elevation contours, pathways and easements (indicative), where the state publishes them

One-off, no account. Emailed as a zip with the PDF and DXF.

FAQ

Questions

Look through the sample report first, or get in touch.

Is this a site analysis plan?

It is the research behind one. The report collects the constraints and draws the site in CAD. The site analysis drawing, with orientation, views, noise and neighbours, is still yours to make, and the DXF is the base for it.

Who uses it?

Architects and building designers before concept design, town planners before a pre-lodgement meeting, civil and hydraulic engineers before scoping, and buyers who want to know what they are bidding on.

How is it different from the council's planning portal?

The portal shows one layer at a time for the whole map. The report pulls every layer for one lot, prints the source and the date, and adds the state cadastre, BOM rainfall and the groundwater register, which no council portal has.

Can I rely on it for a DA?

Use it to start. Anything you lodge still needs the council's planning certificate, a survey where the design depends on levels, and professional advice. The report tells you which of those you need.
