Zoning check
Search the address and see the planning zone, every overlay that crosses the lot and what the council has approved nearby. One report, dated sources, no planning portal to learn.
What you get
A zoning map tells you the colour of the lot. Whether you can build what you want depends on the overlays, the DAs around you and the hazards on the block. The report puts all of it on one lot.
The zone and planning scheme the council publishes for the lot, with the source and the date it was fetched.
Flood, bushfire, landslide, coastal and acid sulfate soil overlays, with the share of the lot each one covers.
Development applications lodged on the lot and around it, each linked to the council record.
Lot and plan, land area and tenure from the state cadastre, so you know what you are reading about.
The current statutory land value for Queensland and New South Wales properties.
A DXF with the boundary, buildings, contours and overlays, ready for a concept plan.
Where it works
Zoning is included where we can read the council or state zoning data. In Queensland that means the councils listed on our coverage page. You see what the report will include before you pay, so there is no guessing.

Everything a town planner checks before a pre-lodgement meeting, for one lot, in one order.
One-off, no account. Emailed as a zip with the PDF and DXF.
No. A planning certificate (a section 10.7 certificate in NSW, for example) is a legal document the council issues. This is a research report compiled from the council's and state's published mapping. Use it to decide whether to spend money on the certificate, not instead of it.
It tells you the zone, the overlays and what has been approved nearby, which is what a planner reads first. Whether a specific proposal is allowed depends on the planning scheme's tables and codes, and often on a conversation with the council.
Where we have the zoning data, yes. Search the address, confirm the lot on the map, and the zone is shown with the list of sections the report will include. Then you decide.
Covered. Western Australian lots get the local planning scheme zone where the council publishes it, plus contours, hazard overlays, title and DA history where the council has a register.
Each section prints the source and the date the data was fetched. Councils update their schemes on their own schedules, which is why the date is printed rather than hidden.
