EXPLORE A SITE IN CONTEXT

SmartMap: Explore Land and Planning Context

Explore supported parcel and planning layers in Victoria and New South Wales. Use the map to investigate a location and the available concept design tools to explore an initial idea.

Open SmartMap and select Victoria or New South Wales. Layers and design capabilities vary by state and available data.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

A clearer view of your next decision.

Inspect parcels

Find a location and examine available parcel information in its geographic context.

Review planning layers

Turn on supported planning and context layers. Confirm their coverage and source before applying them to a site.

Explore a concept

Use the design tools available in the selected map. A concept is a starting point for investigation and does not establish approval or buildability.

Understand the scope.

Map layers can differ in reference date, precision and coverage. Parcel geometry is not a licensed survey. Confirm current planning controls with the responsible authority and seek site-specific advice where needed.

BEFORE YOU START

Common questions

Which states are supported?

The current SmartMap entry provides Victoria and New South Wales views. Available layers and tools differ between those views.

Is the map a substitute for a survey or planning certificate?

No. Use the source information and relevant authority records to confirm boundaries and planning requirements.

Does a concept design mean a project is approved?

No. A concept illustrates an idea using the available tools. It still needs assessment against the actual site, planning controls and project requirements.
