Site Intelligence Report
Architect-curated planning intelligence for your site: the planning controls, permissible uses, risks, permit pathway and an indicative yield range. Assess a specific proposal, or switch to best-use mode to have every viable option assessed on the same basis. Typically 2–4 minutes. Available for sites in Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT (see the states table).
- Planning controls: zone, overlays, height, heritage, flood and bushfire, with recent and proposed planning amendments
- Permissible uses, the planning triggers for each, and risks by use rated high, medium or low
- An indicative yield range, with what would unlock the upper end
- Project mode: your proposal compared with the best-rated alternative
- Best-use mode: every viable use assessed on the same basis
- Precedents, the permit pathway and a phased project action plan
- What the report could not confirm, and the next steps

What your Site Intelligence Report will evaluateClick to see
The Site Intelligence Report ($220 inc GST) tests what the planning controls mean for your site. Every section it writes:
- Introduction — The site, its zone and overlay, the tested yield range and the most material open item
- Planning Summary — Zone, schedule controls, height, overlays, flood, bushfire, heritage and easements
- Recent & Proposed Planning Amendments — Amendments that may affect the site, and their status
- Site Description — Site details, current use and a researched description of the locality
- Opportunities & Constraints — Site-level observations, including any state policy pathway that applies
- Permissible Uses — Each use, whether it is permitted, and the planning triggers
- Risks by Use — Risks rated high, medium or low, with mitigation
- Maximum Development Potential — An indicative yield range, with what would unlock the upper end
- Client's Proposal vs. Top-Rated Alternative — For a project you have in mind: your proposal compared with the best-rated alternative
- Precedent Summary — Comparable approvals and sales, only from supplied records
- Permit Pathway — The approval pathway, referrals and appeal rights
- Project Action Plan — A phased plan of next steps
- Overall Site Summary & Recommendations — The conclusion, in one place
- What This Report Does Not Include — The scope of the report, stated plainly
- What This Report Could Not Confirm — Anything that could not be verified from source data, why, and what it means
- Next Steps — Progressing to a Feasibility Study Report
