Public data, attributed.

The licence.

Underlying planning data used by Feasibly is sourced from public government datasets across Australia. Each dataset is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) or an equivalent open data licence by its source authority.

This means we can use, transform, and redistribute the data, provided attribution travels with it. Every Feasibly response carries the _meta.attribution block citing the source authority. If you republish or redistribute Feasibly data, that attribution must travel with it.

Sources, by jurisdiction.

The full list of source authorities Feasibly draws from. Each one publishes spatial planning data under an open data licence; we read it via their official API or scrape it from the official planning scheme website.

• State of Victoria: Department of Transport and Planning (Vicmap Planning, planning scheme ordinances at planning-schemes.app.planning.vic.gov.au)
• NSW: Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (NSW Planning Portal, EPI APIs)
• SA: PlanSA (Planning & Design Code, Technical Numeric Variations)
• QLD: State Heritage Register; per-council planning APIs (Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay, Redland, Toowoomba, Logan, Ipswich)
• WA: Landgate / SLIP (Shared Land Information Platform)
• ACT: ACTmapi (Territory Plan 2023)
• Tasmania: theLIST (Tasmanian Planning Scheme)
• Geoscape Australia: G-NAF (Geocoded National Address File) for address geocoding

Attribution on every response.

Every Feasibly tool response includes an _meta.attribution block with the source authority for that specific lookup. For example, a Melbourne address lookup returns:

• Source: State of Victoria (Department of Transport and Planning)
• Licence: CC BY 4.0
• Source URL: the specific planning scheme clause for that council/zone/schedule
• Last fetched: ISO timestamp of when the data was retrieved

For multi-jurisdictional lookups (e.g. a site comparison spanning VIC and NSW), the attribution block lists each source authority that contributed.

If you republish Feasibly data.

You're welcome to use Feasibly responses in your own work product: reports, integrations, internal dashboards, client-facing summaries. Two things must travel with it:

• The source authority attribution (the relevant entry from the list above)
• The CC BY 4.0 licence statement: “Contains data © [State / authority] — licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International.”

For PDF reports generated by Feasibly's generate_report tool, the attribution is included automatically in the report footer. For API responses you're processing programmatically, surface it in your downstream output.

What Feasibly's IP covers.

The source data is open. The schedule resolver, council-specific rule codification, confidence-tagging system, ResCode envelope engine, and tool API design are Feasibly's intellectual property: that's the work we did to make the open data usable.

Reselling or redistributing the rule engine or codified council schedule data without authorisation isn't covered by CC BY 4.0: that's covered by our Terms of Service.
