The Evidence

One real sample. Every line below is from it.

This is the actual constraint table of the sample report: a gas peaker precinct near Tailem Bend, South Australia. Each row carries its own rating and a separate data status, and in the full report each becomes a section with statutory references, sources and a satellite exhibit.

Zoning insignificant assessed · clean

Cadastral / Title & Easements moderate assessed · hit

Planning Overlays minor assessed · hit

Aboriginal Heritage moderate data limited

Historic / Federal Heritage insignificant assessed · clean

Bushfire minor assessed · hit

Flora & Fauna / Ecology moderate assessed · hit

EPBC / Matters of National Significance moderate assessed · hit

Hydrology / Flooding minor assessed · hit

Noise (residential amenity) minor assessed · hit

Visual Amenity minor assessed · hit

Contours / Topography insignificant assessed · clean

Geotechnical minor data limited

Soils insignificant assessed · clean

Utilities (power / gas / water / NBN) insignificant assessed · hit

Traffic & Access minor data limited

Contaminated Land insignificant assessed · clean

Air Quality moderate assessed · hit

Hazard & Risk (fire / explosion) moderate assessed · hit

major — potential fatal flaw moderate — needs mitigation minor — readily mitigated insignificant pending — data unavailable, disclosed as such

Bushfire constraint exhibit — Bushfire exhibit

EPBC matters of national environmental significance exhibit — EPBC / MNES exhibit

Transmission and utilities exhibit — Transmission & utilities exhibit

How It Works

Send a site. Get a memo back.

No software to adopt, no seats, no onboarding. It slots in front of your existing consultant workflow as an early filter.

Send one candidate site

An address, coordinates or a boundary file, plus the project type. That is all we need to start.

We run the desktop screen

19 constraints against state and federal spatial data: zoning, overlays, bushfire, flooding, EPBC, heritage, soils, transmission and more. Ratings are weighted for your project type; a gas peaker is not scored like a solar farm.

Honest by Design

If we can't assess it, the report says so.

What the screen is, and what it is not

Every constraint carries two separate fields: a rating and a data status. Where public data does not exist or cannot be reached, the constraint is marked pending or data-limited instead of being dressed up as clean. On the benchmark sample the screen matched the consultant's finding on every comparable constraint, and disclosed the four it cannot close from a desktop:

Title search — ordered from the state titles office, not public spatial data
Aboriginal heritage register — access to the state register is restricted
EPBC protected matters report — a formal PMST run accompanies a referral
Geotechnical — requires physical investigation on site

Coverage varies by state and the report says so per constraint. Statutory planning overlays are live for SA, VIC, NSW, QLD and WA; EPBC matters, transmission infrastructure and soils are national layers. The deepest calibration is South Australia, where the engine was built against a real consultant assessment. This is a preliminary desktop screen to support early site selection; it is not planning advice, and it does not replace the specialist assessments a development application requires.

Pricing

Priced like a filter, not a study.

A consultant desktop constraints study typically runs to five figures and takes weeks. This screen exists so you only commission those for sites that survive the first cut.

Constraints that cannot be assessed from public data are disclosed as pending, never padded. If the screen returns materially less than the sample report shows for your state, we will say so before you pay.
