About Land Axis

A site should end up with one record, not five opinions

Land Axis puts the planning picture and the development feasibility for a parcel on the same record — so the people around a deal are reading the same site.

The same site, assessed from scratch, five times over

Why we built it

Before anyone can say yes or no to a site, someone opens the state planning map for the zone, hunts the council scheme for the overlay wording, checks the title and cadastre, pulls comparables from a separate subscription, and rebuilds the feasibility in a spreadsheet inherited from the last deal. Then the valuer does the same work again, and the planner after them.

Land Axis exists to collapse that into one pass. Enter a Victorian or New South Wales address, read the controls that actually govern the parcel, test what fits inside them, and model the money — all on the same record, with every assumption visible and dated. We are not there for every layer yet. That is exactly why each one is tagged with where it stands and why the roadmap is public rather than a sales conversation.

How we decide what to ship

Trust before breadth

A feasibility platform is only worth using if you would defend its output to a lender. Four rules follow from that, and they decide what we build and what we leave out.

01Everything says where it stands

Available now, early access, or still to come — said on the thing itself, not buried in a release note. You should never have to guess how much weight a number can carry.

02No figure without its workings

Every number in a feasibility traces back to an assumption you set and can change. We do not hard-code market rates or hide an adjustment inside a formula you cannot open.

03No dead buttons

If something is not built, it is not in the interface pretending otherwise. Breadth is the easiest thing to fake in this category, and the fastest way to lose a professional user.

04AI that stays grounded

Ask Sterling, our assistant, answers from your study and the site record in front of it. Where the answer is not in there, it says so instead of producing a confident one.

One state at a time

Depth before breadth

Multi-state coverage is the obvious thing to sell and the wrong thing to build first.

Planning control is state law, and the detail that decides a deal — the schedule to the zone, the wording of the overlay, what a setback resolves to on a real lot — does not generalise across a border. So we finished Victoria before starting anywhere else: statewide zones, overlays, parcels and lot geometry first, then envelope tests and feasibility built on top of them.

New South Wales is live on the same footing, built the same way rather than bolted on. It is a slower way to grow a map and a better way to earn a professional's trust, and the states after it will arrive the same way — when the stack for each is one we would stake a deal on ourselves.
