The Evidence

One real sample. Every line below is from it.

This is the actual constraint table of the sample report: a 2.9 ha industrial-zoned infill lot in Laverton North, in Melbourne's west, the scale a single-facility warehouse actually gets built on. Each row carries its own rating and a separate data status, and in the full report each becomes a section with statutory references and sources. The screen found what really shapes logistics siting in this corridor: an easement crossing the lot, volcanic-plain grassland ecology nearby, the operational freight task rated as a primary assessment matter, and a nearest address point the report flags as possibly non-residential rather than quietly calling it a dwelling.

We run the desktop screen

19 constraints against state and federal spatial data: zoning, overlays, easements, bushfire, flooding, EPBC, heritage, soils and more. Ratings are weighted for a freight use: operational truck movements are intrinsic, so traffic is rated a primary assessment matter, and the on-site hazard question is framed around what you will store.

Honest by Design

What this screen is, and what it is not.

constraints, two fields each

every constraint carries a rating AND a separate data status, so a gap in public data is disclosed as pending, never dressed up as clean

Two things we do not have, said plainly

Road network capacity. No traffic counts, intersection performance or pavement data is queried. The screen rates the freight task as a primary assessment matter because that is what it is for a logistics use, and it tells you a Traffic Impact Assessment with intersection modelling is where the real answer lives. It does not pretend to be that assessment.

Your goods profile. Whether dangerous-goods licensing applies depends on what you store, which no desktop screen can know. The report frames the question against state DG thresholds instead of guessing an answer.

What the screen does close out early, from public data:

Zoning and overlays: is the use even open to you here, and what schedules apply
Easements crossing the parcel: corridors that sterilise part of the buildable envelope
Ecology and EPBC: native grassland and threatened-community triggers that add seasons to a program (the sample site sits near the Angliss Grassland reserve)
Heritage, flood, bushfire, soils, contamination: per-constraint, each with its own data status
Receptor separation, honestly read: GNAF address points in industrial estates are often factory units, so the sample report caps the rating and names the address to confirm instead of crying wolf

Coverage varies by state and the report says so per constraint: Victorian screens run with full layer coverage; in NSW the Aboriginal heritage register is access restricted and council flood mapping is partial, so those constraints are reported pending there, not assumed clear. 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.
