Free planning and property tools
Everything below is free and needs no account. They are general-purpose tools built on published data — none of them gives planning advice or decides anything about a particular site.
Planning lookups
- Prepare a planning application (Victoria)Set out a proposal on the surveyed lot: shadow site plans at 9 am, noon and 3 pm on 22 September, the lot among its neighbours’ permitted envelopes in 3D, and every mapped control against your setbacks and heights. Free to study; a printable pack is A$149.
- Zone & overlay check by addressWhat planning zone and overlays are mapped over an address, straight from published state planning data. Says plainly when the answer is unknown.
- Planning zones by councilEvery council we hold mapped zone data for, with each zone explained in plain language and linked to the council’s own published scheme.
Property calculators
- Stamp dutyState-by-state stamp duty for owner-occupiers, investors, first home buyers and foreign purchasers.
- Mortgage repaymentsPrincipal and interest, interest-only and split-loan repayments at any rate and term.
- Borrowing capacityHow much you could borrow based on income, expenses and existing commitments.
- Rental yieldGross and net yield, including vacancy and outgoings, for any rent and price combination.
- Cash-on-cash returnYear-one return on the cash you actually put in — the metric investors care about.
- IRR & equity multipleMulti-year IRR and equity multiple for development, value-add or hold scenarios.
- Land value residualBack-solve the land price that makes a development feasible at your target margin.
- Feasibility quick-checkYield, GFA, revenue and margin in 60 seconds — before you commission a single drawing.
These tools are general information, not advice. They make no assessment of a specific site and state no outcome for any application — check with the responsible council.
