LayeredGeo for property developers
Screen sites faster before acquisition - ground conditions, planning overlays, and spatial data from a single address search, before you spend money on consultants.
Products
From site screening to feasibility-ready data
Pre-Acquisition Site Screening
Understand the ground conditions before signing a contract. Geology, soils, groundwater indicators and terrain context all affect design complexity and consultant cost.
- Ground conditions & mapped geology
- Soil type & acid sulfate risk flags
- Groundwater depth indicators
- Current & historical aerial imagery
Zoning & Overlay Check
Know what planning overlays apply before committing to a site - zoning, flood, bushfire, heritage and environmental constraints that affect what can be built and at what cost.
- Zoning & development potential
- Flood & bushfire prone land
- Heritage & environmental constraints
- Free interactive map preview
Spatial Data for Feasibility
Export clipped site data for early feasibility drawings and option studies - hand it directly to your civil or design consultant to avoid delays in getting started.
- DXF for AutoCAD & Civil 3D
- Contours, terrain & site boundary
- Geology & soils for feasibility context
- Ready for your consultant immediately
Know the constraints before you commit
Property developers often need a quick understanding of site context before spending time and money on deeper investigations. Ground conditions, terrain, groundwater context, and planning overlays can all affect program, design complexity, consultant requirements, and what can actually be built on a site.
Planning overlays in particular can make or break a development site. A flood risk overlay can drive up construction costs, a heritage listing can restrict built form, and a vegetation overlay can eliminate usable site area. LayeredGeo gives you a documented overlay summary and a ground conditions report for any QLD or NSW address in minutes - before you spend money on a DA or a geotechnical investigation.
Useful at each stage
- Acquisition screening - rule out heavily constrained sites before signing a contract
- Pre-feasibility - understand overlay-driven and ground-condition constraints that affect yield, cost, or program
- Option comparison - screen multiple sites consistently without manual council portal lookups
- Consultant briefing - give architects, planners, and engineers a documented constraint baseline from the outset
- Pre-DA preparation - attach overlay and site context summaries to a development application as baseline constraint documentation
- Investor and lender reporting - support investment decisions or finance applications with documented findings
Planning overlays - what's covered
The Planning Maps report covers all seven overlay groups in one PDF: planning zone (with land use category and assessment pathway notes), flood risk (overlay type, AEP category, and freeboard implications), bushfire hazard (category and BAL standard implications), heritage (local and state, curtilage polygons), transport noise corridors, vegetation overlays, and environmental overlays. Plus distance to the nearest bus stop and train station for density and TOD assessments.
The free interactive map preview lets you check any site's overlay picture instantly - no credit required. Generate the full PDF when you need a shareable, documented record for due diligence files or consultant briefs.
Important limitation
LayeredGeo supports early-stage decision making but does not replace formal technical advice, site valuation, field investigation, geotechnical assessment, or statutory planning review. The geotechnical report and planning report are desktop screening tools based on government-published spatial data. All findings should be verified by a qualified professional before making investment or development decisions.
Screen sites before you commit
Run the planning map and geotech report together as a first-pass due diligence check - both in minutes, for any QLD or NSW address.
