For Small Developers
Screen 20 sites in an afternoon. Chase the 3 that move.
Stop paying due-diligence hours on dead-end sites. Feasibly screens the zone, envelope, overlays, subdivision yield, and complexity before you open a spreadsheet.
Status quo
Where your due-diligence budget actually goes
-
01
Agent pipeline of 15 properties
Each one plausibly develop-able at a glance.
-
02
You hire a planner for all 15
At $800-$1,500 a desktop review.
-
03
Twelve come back unviable
Heritage, wrong zone, too small, overlay kills yield. You've spent $10k+ on no-go reports.
-
04
Three are live
But you've already bled your Q3 due-diligence budget on dead ends.

Everything above is one lookup and one credit. The height is mandatory and fixed by the zone, so it is not a council-schedule variable — and the heritage overlay is the flag that decides whether this site is worth a feasibility at all.
Realistic yield range
Detached lot count given schedule minLotSize, frontage, coverage, garden area, and lot shape. Not just “theoretical maximum”.
Building envelope
Height, setbacks, coverage, garden-area requirement, per the actual council schedule. Cited.
Complexity score
Easy / moderate / complex / very complex. Uses zone type, overlay density, heritage, bushfire, slope, corner lot, easements.
Permit pathway indicator
VicSmart eligibility. Whether a planning permit is needed. Standard notification or not.
Neighbourhood density context
Multi-dwelling density within ~200m. Does precedent exist?
Subdivision-potential tool
Deep analysis for the 3 sites that survive screening.
Before / after
The new workflow
Old way
Weeks + $10k+ in DD fees
- Get 15 properties from your agent
- Hire a planner on all 15 for desktop reviews
- Wait 2-4 weeks
- Discover 12 are non-viable
- Spend pre-budget on dead ends
New way
1 afternoon + $0
- Screen all 15 through Feasibly
- 9 fail on zone / overlay / schedule in 30 seconds each
- 6 pass screening — now hire the planner
- Spend budget where it matters

- No. It's enough to filter a pipeline. For any site you're actually bidding on, hire a qualified planner.
- Does it cover NSW LEPs?
- Yes, all 128 NSW LGAs via Standard Instrument LEP. Height, FSR, lot size, heritage, protection layers.
- Batch lookup?
- On the Pro tier. Send a list, get a spreadsheet of results.
