For real estate agencies

List every property knowing
what it is allowed to become

A written planning report on the listing, from the scheme in force and Council’s own mapping, with a person’s name on it. Ordered by any agent in the office on one link, $150 a report, invoiced monthly. No card, no login.

How it works

Four steps, the office learns once

  1. Step 1

    Apply once

    The office manager fills in one form: legal entity, ABN, the accounts email, whether a purchase order is needed, and who may order. We confirm the account the same day.

  2. Step 2

    One link for the office

    We issue one ordering link. Anyone in the office uses it. Nothing to maintain as agents come and go, and the office can switch to a named list any time.

  3. Step 3

    Order in a minute

    Type the address, check the lot on the map, add the lots next door if the client owns them, say what the client wants to know, drop in any files, press Order.

  4. Step 4

    One invoice a month

    Every report delivered in the month goes on one tax invoice to the accounts address, $150 including GST each, 14-day terms. A report we cannot deliver is never billed.

What the report covers

The answer, and the rule behind it

  • The zone, every overlay that touches the parcel, and what each one means for what can be built.
  • Every scenario the land supports (a second dwelling, a duplex, a subdivision, townhouses, a new house) and the approval pathway each one takes: accepted, code assessable or impact assessable.
  • The provisions that decide it, quoted word for word from the planning scheme in force, with the section named.
  • What Council has actually approved and refused nearby, from our database of 285,000+ development applications.
  • A site plan drawn to scale from the cadastre, with setbacks, the buildable area and any flood or overland-flow line on it.
  • The specialists an application would need (surveyor, engineer, geotechnical, flood), named but not priced.
  • A written statement of what was not checked or not held for the site. We never present a gap in the data as a clear result.
How it is used

By the agent, the vendor and the buyer

The agent
Wins the listing with a document the vendor has not seen from anyone else, and answers the open-home question (“can I put a granny flat out the back?”) with a page, not a guess.
The vendor
Knows before the campaign whether the block is a development story or a family-home story, and prices it accordingly. Under the account terms the agency may give the report to the vendor.
The buyer
Gets a reasoned answer, with the rules quoted, instead of a real estate opinion. The report is a planning opinion at the date of issue, not an approval, and it says so.
Adjoining lots
Where a client owns the lots next door, they are assessed together as one site, in one report, at one price.
A real example

Three adjoining lots on one listing

Ordered on an agency account in September 2026. Described by what was done, not by a result we cannot claim.

The listing

Three adjoining rural-residential lots in Purga, Ipswich, marketed together. Buyers kept asking whether a second dwelling was possible on each lot and what the flood mapping meant.

What we did

Read each lot against the Ipswich scheme, Council’s flood and overlay mapping and Council’s own historic flood reports for the parcels; measured the buildable ground; wrote a planning assessment and a buildability assessment with a site plan.

What the agency got

Two written reports on 24 September 2026, three lots on one invoice at the account rate. Two lots do not support a second dwelling under the current scheme; one has a house site. The agents use it with buyers.

Read a complete report: Dual occupancy (a duplex) at 166 Jesmond Road Indooroopilly, Secondary dwelling (a granny flat) at 6 Finlay Street Slacks Creek, Townhouses at 21 Regency Place Mudgeeraba, Placing a dwelling on a constrained site at 7 Hartwig Crescent Mount Warren Park.

The terms, in short

What an office is agreeing to

  • $150 including GST per report, per property; adjoining lots assessed together are one report.
  • Delivered within three business days. When the queue is full the order page says five, before you order.
  • One tax invoice a month for the reports delivered that month, 14 days to pay, to the accounts address you nominate.
  • A site we cannot cover is told to you within one business day and never charged.
  • A factual error is corrected and reissued at no charge. Either side can close the account in writing at any time.
