For Buyers' Agents
Screen the whole shortlist before Saturday's inspections.
Zone, overlays and permit triggers for every address on the list — across ~455 councils in 7 states. The planning surprise your client finds after settlement was findable on day one.
Status quo
How the one you missed gets through
-
01
The brief lands
Thirty candidate properties across three council areas. Inspections start Saturday.
-
02
You check the favourites
Each one means a state portal, a zone panel, an overlay map. Ten minutes an address — so only the top few get checked.
-
03
The client falls for #14
The one that wasn't checked. Offer goes in Monday.
-
04
The overlay surfaces later
Heritage controls on the façade. The renovation your client planned needs a permit they didn't budget for — and it was your recommendation.

- Permit
One lookup, three things that change the advice: a recent rezoning to a 13.5 m mid-rise zone (the street's future is not its past), heritage controls that make external changes a permit matter, and an infrastructure levy. Each carries its clause, so the note you send the client is checkable against the scheme rather than taken on trust.
Zone, with what it changes
Not just the code — the schedule-specific controls behind it, cited to the source page, confidence-tagged.
Every overlay on the parcel
Heritage, flood, bushfire, environmental, vegetation — clipped to the lot boundary, not “the area”. An empty list means checked-and-clear, never unchecked.
Whole-shortlist screening
Pro's batch endpoint takes up to 20 addresses per call, and its daily limits are sized for screening a full shortlist in one sitting — not just the favourites.
Subdivision signal
Lot size against the schedule's minimum, with the constraints that cut against it — a screening-grade read on the “value-add” conversation. (Pro.)
Wrong-zone guarantee
If we return the wrong zone, that lookup is free and we credit ten more. Every claim becomes a dataset correction.
A client-ready note
Every figure links to the exact planning scheme page it came from. Your recommendation carries sources, not “trust me”.
Before / after
The shortlist screen
Without it
~10 min per address — so most go unchecked
- Open the right state portal (each one is different)
- Enter address, wait for the map, read the zone panel
- Cross-check the overlay layers by eye
- Repeat × 30, or — realistically — check the top five and hope
With Feasibly
~30 sec per address, or one batch call
- Paste the shortlist
- Read the structured screen: zone, overlays, permit triggers, confidence
- Drop the source-linked note into your recommendation
Footnotes
What buyers' agents ask
- Can I put this in my client recommendation?
- Yes, with the attribution and source links included. It's preliminary screening — use it to flag issues early, and have anything deal-critical verified by a qualified planner before contract.
- Does it cover the whole country?
- VIC, NSW, SA, QLD, WA, ACT and TAS — roughly 455 councils. Depth varies honestly: Victorian council schedules are human-verified; NSW and QLD add machine-extracted dwelling controls (screening-grade); every state returns authoritative zone and overlay data. NT is deferred.
- What if a zone comes back wrong?
- That lookup is free and we credit 10 more. Every guarantee claim becomes a permanent dataset correction.
- Can it tell me if a block is subdividable?
- It gives a screening-grade signal: lot size against the schedule's minimum, plus the overlays and constraints that cut against it. It flags the conversation worth having — a surveyor or planner confirms it.
