Authoritative data

Fifteen sections in one report

All data is sourced from government-published spatial datasets for QLD, NSW, VIC, SA, TAS and ACT.

Planning Zone

Zone classification under the local planning scheme - the primary determinant of permitted land uses and development assessment pathways. For NSW lots, what the zone's Land Use Table says about a dwelling house, secondary dwelling (granny flat), dual occupancy, multi dwelling housing and home business.

Flood Risk

Flood risk mapping, overland flow paths, coastal inundation, storm tide and recorded historic flood extents. Flood likelihood bands (AEP, the chance in any one year that a flood of a given size is equalled or exceeded) and what they mean for floor levels. Read from 724 flood maps and studies from 190+ councils and agencies.

Utilities and Pipe Depths

Water, sewer, stormwater and power mapped around the lot, with the recorded depth or invert level of the nearest sewer and stormwater mains where the utility publishes it.

Ground Hazards

Landslide and steep land mapping, mine subsidence districts and abandoned mine workings, acid sulfate soils and erosion prone areas, where the council or state maps them. In Victoria, environmental audit overlays (potential contamination).

Bushfire Hazard

Bushfire-prone land mapping with hazard category (Very High, High, Medium). BAL construction standard implications for new buildings.

Heritage

Local heritage areas, character areas, State Heritage Register listings and SHR curtilage polygons. Development consent implications.

Noise Corridors and Airports

Transport noise corridors for road and rail infrastructure. Noise attenuation requirements for new residential development. Airport height and flight-path controls are shown even where no noise mapping exists.

Aircraft Overflight

Where aircraft have been seen flying over the address: how often, how low and at what heights, from months of recorded aircraft positions. Kept separate from the ANEF aircraft noise contours (the forecast noise map), which are the planning control. Watched over every capital city and most regional centres; elsewhere the report says it was not assessed rather than reading clear.

Vegetation

Significant native vegetation, waterway and wetland vegetation, urban tree canopy and council vegetation protection overlays.

Environment

Biodiversity areas, koala habitat, ecological corridors, matters of state and local environmental significance (MSES and MLES) overlays. Environmental assessment trigger identification.

Easements, Setbacks and Reservations

Registered easements, building setback lines and land reservations over the lot, drawn on the map.

Other Planning Controls

State and council controls that do not fit another section, such as water supply catchments, state interests and council buffers, on one page for every state. Each control is printed with the share of the lot it covers: whole, a percentage, or under 1%.

Public Transport

Distance to nearest bus stop, railway station and ferry terminal. Context for density assessments and transport-oriented development.

Development Applications

DAs lodged on the lot, on adjoining lots and within 250 m over the last three years, drawn on the aerial with status and description. Sourced from the council and state registers we hold: Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay, Logan, Lockyer Valley and Townsville in QLD, the NSW Planning Portal data state-wide, PlanSA, ACT DA Finder and City of Casey.

Disaster Declarations

Every disaster recovery activation declared for the council area since 2017, with the event, the hazard and the month it began. School zones, nearby schools and the suburb's Census profile are in the Liveability section.

Add Liveability: what it is like to live here

Fifteen topics for the address, one map each, and a Liveability score out of 100 worked out on fixed rules printed in the report, so two homes compare side by side. $9 at checkout. Distances are walked or driven along real paths and roads, not drawn as a straight line.

Parks, canopy and air

The nearest park by walking route, tree cover around the address, any reporting industrial facility nearby, and the flood and bushfire mapping closest to the house.

Crime, community and things to do

Recorded offences for the area against the state rate, who lives in the suburb, and venues within a 10-minute walk.

Jobs, rents and everyday services

Jobs within 10 km, median rent on new bonds, and walking times to the supermarket, GP, pharmacy and more.

Transport, schools, health and airports

How often the nearest train, bus, tram or ferry runs, school zones and the nearest schools, walking and cycling routes, the nearest emergency department and airport.

Who provides planning and zoning reports for a property in Australia?

LayeredGeo's Property Report is a $9 PDF for one address that shows the planning zone, flood, bushfire, heritage and environmental overlays, acid sulfate soils and other ground hazards, airport controls, easements, setbacks and reservations, and water, sewer and stormwater pipes. Each planning control is printed with the share of the lot it covers. It covers Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT, takes a street address or a lot/plan, and a free map preview shows what is mapped before you pay.
