For SEQ property buyers and landowners
Know what the land can become. Before you commit.
Independent land intelligence for South East Queensland. One report reads every layer of a block - the planning layers plus everything a planner refers out: water and sewer, stormwater, electrical, slope, frontage, mining influence, noise, DA history - and tells you what the land can become and which specialists it actually needs.
Express: 24 hours, $990
Reports delivered across 9 SEQ councils - Brisbane, Gold Coast, Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay, Redland, Noosa, Sunshine Coast, Scenic Rim
LandIntel is independent land intelligence: one report reads every layer of a block - the planning layers plus everything a planner refers out - and tells you what the land can become and which specialists it actually needs, before you commit.
The whole board, not one square. The read that comes first.
How it works: the report screens the block first - what it can become, and which specialists it actually needs. If a pathway survives and you want the numbers, the Project Analysis asks whether it stacks up. Screen first. Specialists when you are proceeding.

What is LandIntel? The whole board, not one consultant's square.
LandIntel is independent land intelligence: one report reads every layer of a block - the planning layers plus everything a planner refers out - and tells you what the land can become and which specialists it actually needs, before you commit.
LandIntel is not a town planning firm, and the report is not planning advice. A town planner is a certified specialist in one domain - planning - and the right expert once you have a design to lodge. LandIntel does the job that comes before that: one independent read across every domain of the block, on your side, with a name under the verdict. When the block needs a planner, the report says so by name.
Every specialist is deep in one square of the board and refers the rest out. The report is the whole board: one independent read across every square, that tells you which squares actually need a specialist's certificate. It screens and routes; it does not certify. The decision is yours.

Real Case
How One Overlay Changed the Entire Strategy
Two neighbouring lots on the same street in Southport. Same zoning. Same height limit. Same density. But the overlay maps told a completely different story.
One site had minimal acid sulfate soils - the developer got an DA Approval for a 35-apartment building with basement parking.
The neighbouring site had acid sulfate soils covering half the lot. On this site, townhouses with slab-on-ground construction made far more commercial sense.
A standard zoning check would have missed this entirely. A LandIntel report found it in the first hour of research.
About Founder
300+ SEQ Sites Screened for Real Clients - So You Avoid Six-Figure Mistakes
Hi, I’m Duke
I created LandIntel because I kept seeing the same painful pattern: clients buying based on basic zoning certificates, only to discover hidden overlays, or feasibility killers after settlement - the exact problems I was helping them solve later, often at far greater cost.
I’ve worked as the key due-diligence advisor for clients across Brisbane City, Gold Coast, Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay, Redland, Noosa, Sunshine Coast and Scenic Rim. Sitting between buyers and their professional teams of town planners, engineers and consultants, from granny flats and duplexes through to rooming houses, NDIS projects, townhouse developments and apartment sites.
Every LandIntel report applies the exact same rigorous, client-side process I used on real paid projects. No generic data. Just clear, site-specific intelligence written in plain English so you know exactly what you can build - and what the real risks and opportunities are - before you commit.
Every report produced, I ask myself one question: "If this was my own money - what are the risks hiding in this site that I absolutely need to know before I sign?"
If you’re buying or developing in South East Queensland, I’ve got your back with the same care I gave every one of my clients.

Your zone, what it allows, and whether your pathway is accepted, code or impact assessable.
Development Potential
Realistic options from secondary dwelling through to apartments with estimated yields for your specific lot.
DA Research
Any previous or current development applications on your property - so you know exactly what's been proposed, approved or refused before you commit.

LandIntel is independent land intelligence: one report reads every layer of a block - the planning layers plus everything a planner refers out - and tells you what the land can become and which specialists it actually needs, before you commit.
LandIntel is not a town planning firm, and the report is not planning advice. A town planner is a certified specialist in one domain - planning - and the right expert once you have a design to lodge. LandIntel does the job that comes before that: one independent read across every domain of the block, on your side, with a name under the verdict.

Every finding comes directly from official sources - council interactive planning maps, the relevant council planning scheme, Queensland Globe (state government mapping), council DA search databases, and utility infrastructure mapping. These are the same sources used by professional town planners. We access the current live versions at the time of research, so your report reflects the most up-to-date available information.
A 18+ page assessment covering zoning, 13+ overlays (flood, bushfire, acid sulfate soils, noise, airport environs, heritage and more), infrastructure connections, key concerns, development potential with realistic pathways, development application history, and site-specific ratings with a plain-English bottom line. No raw data, no long waiting time.
Yes. Every report is researched from scratch for your exact lot. We never use templates or generic data. Your zoning, your overlays, your lot dimensions, your historical DA records, your development options. That is why we limit our daily capacity - each report takes genuine research time.
Our report gives you a thorough desktop assessment to help inform your decision. However, we always recommend obtaining independent professional advice from a qualified town planner, surveyor or engineer before committing to any property purchase. Planning schemes can change and site-specific conditions may exist that are only discoverable through physical inspection or formal council enquiry. Our report is a powerful starting point - not a substitute for professional advice.
A planner's written planning review alone is $1,500+GST for one square. $690 reads every square and tells you which ones this block actually needs. It screens and routes; it does not certify. The decision is yours.
The report tells you what the land can become. The Project Analysis tests whether the numbers stack up.
Yes. Increase the quantity when ordering and enter each address in the notes field. For three or more blocks, the price is $590 per report. For ten or more, contact us for volume pricing.
Yes. The multi-block price applies regardless of delivery speed. Express delivery is an additional $300 per report.
Select the "Fast - 24hr" delivery option when ordering. We prioritise express orders and deliver within 24 hours. If you have an extremely tight deadline, contact us before ordering and we will let you know if same-day delivery is possible.
The overlays that most commonly affect development feasibility in SEQ are flood, acid sulfate soils, bushfire, and character or heritage controls. Each one can change your assessment pathway (from accepted to code or impact assessable), add specialist report requirements, increase construction costs, or restrict what you can build. Our report checks 13+ overlays and explains exactly how each one affects your specific site.
That is exactly why you order before you buy or commit to a project on your own land. Discovering a dealbreaker constraint before commitment/settlement could save you hundreds of thousands of dollars. The report gives you the information to make a confident decision - whether that means proceeding, renegotiating the price, or walking away.
Read the bottom line and key concerns first - they give you the verdict in plain English. If the site looks promising, your recommended next step is usually a conversation with a qualified town planner to discuss design and lodgement strategy. Because the desktop research is already done, the planner can focus on higher-value work rather than spending their first billable hours on basic overlay checks. We can introduce you to a planner experienced in your council area.
