For structural, civil & geotechnical consultants
Lot, area and tenure, hazard overlays, the planning zone, DA history, design rainfall, registered water bores and a CAD-ready boundary and contour file. One Site Report to attach to the fee proposal, so every job starts with the right base data.

The job
A fee proposal is only as good as what you knew when you wrote it. Before anyone drives to site you want to know how big the lot is, which way it falls, whether it sits in a flood, bushfire or landslide overlay, what the zone allows and what has been approved on it before.
The Site Report puts those answers in one PDF. Hazard overlays show whether they touch the lot and how much of it they cover. The DXF carries the boundary, contours, building outlines and watercourses, with each overlay that crosses the lot on its own layer. Each section prints its source and fetch date.
Each discipline reads the same data differently. See the pages for civil engineers, hydraulic engineers and geotechnical engineers for the checks each one runs.
In the Site Report for consulting work
Lot, plan, land area and tenure from the state cadastre, with the lot drawn on a contour map.
Flood, bushfire, landslide, coastal and acid sulfate soils where mapped, with the share of the lot each covers.
The planning zone where the council publishes it, and the applications lodged on the lot with links to the council record.
The BOM 2016 IFD table for the site, with design values and climate-change factors.
Boundary, building footprints, contours, parcel labels, watercourses, water bores and hazard overlays, in metres.

Guides for this work
FAQ
Local coordinates in metres about the lot centroid, not MGA. It is a site base for concept work and proposals; move it onto your survey control when the detail survey arrives.
Flood, bushfire, landslide, coastal and acid sulfate soils where the state or council publishes them. Every state and territory has at least flood and bushfire, except the Northern Territory, where it is storm surge and acid sulfate soils.
Not with the Site Report. With a plan, PlanInsight lodges a Before You Dig Australia enquiry against the property and collects the utility PDFs on the property page. For excavation on a specific project, lodge your own project-referenced enquiry as well.
Starter includes 3 users, Team 12 and Business 30. Every plan has unlimited lookups and Site Reports.
