Australia’s planning rules, in one place

Screen any Australian address in 30 seconds.

Zone. Schedule. Overlays. Building envelope. Subdivision potential.

The rules are scattered across state portals, council schemes and schedule PDFs: eight tabs and an unbilled hour. Feasibly puts seven states and territories behind one lookup, source-linked to its clause, confidence-tagged and kept current.

The lookup

Type an address. Watch the site resolve.

The zone code is only a pointer. Feasibly returns the numbers that actually govern the site, each with its source clause and a confidence tier.

One call, one real address. Geometry is indicative; every value is the live answer. Garden area is absent because HCTZ1 has no garden-area requirement — we don’t invent a control to fill a row.

Works where you work

One engine. Three ways in.

Feasibly is a data layer, not another portal to log into. The same schedule-resolved answer: on the web, over the API, or straight inside your AI assistant.

The proof

A practising architecture firm bets live projects on it.

SQM Architects, a practising Australian architecture firm, runs its client feasibility work on Feasibly every day. Real projects, not a demo. If a schedule is wrong, it gets hit on a live project before you ever see it.

“Every feasibility triage at SQM starts with the same lookup, the same citations, the same guarantee any Feasibly customer gets. There’s no special version for us: if the data’s wrong, our projects hit it first.”

The underwrite

If we get the zone wrong, that lookup is free, and we credit ten more.

Every claim becomes a permanent dataset correction, published in the changelog. The price you pay is the price of verified data, not best-effort.

Before you ask

The questions professionals ask first.

Is this professional planning advice?

No, and we’re precise about that. Feasibly is the screening layer you run before the professionals: it tells you which sites are worth a planner’s desktop review, a surveyor’s quote, an architect’s sketch. Always verify with the relevant council before acting on a screen.

Which states are covered, and how deep?

Seven states and territories, ~455 councils. Depth is tiered, and we label it honestly: Victoria is schedule-deep, with 620+ council schedules read by hand and monitored daily; NSW adds machine-extracted DCP dwelling controls for 116 councils, flagged screening-grade; every state runs on authoritative government spatial APIs. Full coverage map →

What exactly does the guarantee cover?

The zone call. If a lookup returns the wrong zone, that lookup is free and we credit ten more. The claim also becomes a permanent dataset correction in our public changelog. Every other value carries a confidence tier instead of a promise, so you always know which numbers are verified and which are screening-grade. How a claim works →

How is this different from a map portal?

Portals show you which controls apply and link you to the scheme. Feasibly reads the schedule and returns the numbers (min lot size, height, setbacks, garden area), each with its clause and a confidence tier. Many teams run both. Feasibly vs Landchecker →

Can I use it inside Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. Feasibly ships as an MCP server: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP-compatible client in about two minutes, and your assistant answers planning questions with clause citations instead of guesses. There’s a REST API when you’d rather integrate directly. Setup guides →
