The planning controls on a real lot.
Insitive Planning reads the zone, the overlays and the setbacks that apply to a surveyed Australian parcel, and shows the buildable envelope they leave — with the source and coverage stated on every line.
- 1Surveyed lot geometryThe cadastral parcel as the state publishes it — boundaries, frontage, area.
- 2ZoneThe scheme zone the parcel sits in, and the use and density it permits.
- 3OverlaysEvery overlay that intersects the parcel — heritage, vegetation, flood, bushfire, character.
- 4Setbacks & heightFront, side and rear setbacks and the height limit those controls impose.
- 5Buildable envelopeWhat is left after the stack is applied to the measured geometry.
No sample lot is shown here on purpose. Controls are only ever reported against a real parcel you look up — where a control is not published for that council, the answer is “not available”, never an inferred figure.
Read the controls, or a summary of them.
Every layer resolves against the surveyed parcel, carries its publishing authority, and says so when a control is not published.
Zone on the surveyed parcel
The scheme zone resolved against state cadastral geometry, not a suburb-level approximation.
Every intersecting overlay
Heritage, vegetation, flood, bushfire, character and local overlays — each one named, not collapsed into a single risk word.
Setbacks from the scheme
Front, side and rear setbacks and height limits read from the applicable control, with the rule that produced each one.
Buildable envelope
The stepped three-dimensional envelope the stacked controls leave on the measured lot.
Orientation-aware
Frontage bearing measured from the boundary chain, so setback faces and solar aspect are the lot’s, not a rotation of it.
Sourced and dated
Each control carries its publishing authority and the vintage of the dataset it was read from.
Honest coverage
Where a council has not published a layer, the surface says so. A gap is reported as a gap, never filled with a plausible default.
Not a compliance opinion
These are the published controls and what they imply geometrically. They are not a planning-compliance assessment or an approval pathway.
Prepare an application on the real lot — with its shadows and its neighbours.
Set out a proposal’s storeys, wall heights and setbacks on the surveyed parcel. See its shadow at the 22 September reference times and the lot in 3D among what each neighbour is permitted to build. For a one-off report, or for planners to fast-track every application.
It reports controls. It does not certify compliance.
A zone, an overlay and a setback are facts a scheme publishes. Whether a particular proposal satisfies them is a judgement a planner makes — often with discretion the scheme grants them, and with reference to local policy that is not machine-readable.
So the surface stops where the evidence stops: it tells you which controls apply, where each one came from, and what envelope they leave. It does not tell you a proposal will be approved.
- ControlThe named zone, overlay or setback rule.
- AuthorityThe state or council body that publishes it.
- VintageWhen the dataset it was read from was published.
- CoveragePresent, or explicitly not published for this council.
