The snapshot shows the controls. The Site Intelligence Report ($220 inc GST) tests what they 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
