ZoneScout was built because planning information in Australia is fragmented, complex and often locked behind expensive consultants. We think that's wrong.
We connect directly to each state's own ArcGIS planning databases and present real zoning data in plain English, instantly and for free.
"We wanted to save time and money for ordinary property owners, giving them the same information that developers pay planners thousands of dollars to produce — instantly and for free."
— Ryan (ZoneScout Founder)We're partnered with experienced town planners who work across Australia who can take your development from initial idea to approved DA. Our free consultation connects you with a qualified planner who knows your area.
We believe everyone deserves access to clear planning information. We connect property owners with our planning partners — who will connect with you for free to discuss your project.
NSW, VIC, QLD, SA and WA — each querying that state's own government spatial API. NSW uses mapprod3/ArcGIS. VIC uses plan-gis.mapshare.vic.gov.au. SA uses location.sa.gov.au. WA uses SLIP (public-services.slip.wa.gov.au).
ZoneScout pulls real data from state Government APIs but AI interpretation may contain errors. This is general guidance only and does not constitute professional planning advice. Always verify with your council or state planning portal.
