Layers, measurement and map controls

Turn on planning layers, measure a site, and control the view.

Beyond the selected parcel, the map is a planning layer viewer. The Layers panel controls what is drawn; the toolbar controls how you look at it and lets you measure directly on the map.

1. 1

   Open the Layers panel

   Select "Layers" on the right of the toolbar. The panel opens with three Victorian groups: "Planning Zones", "Planning Overlays" and "Additional Layers".

2. 2

   Toggle zones and overlays

   Each group is a checkbox list with a colour swatch, the code and its description. Use "Select all" at the top of a group to switch the whole set on or off.

3. 3

   Search for a layer

   Use the search field (placeholder "Search layers...") to filter by code or description — matching groups expand automatically.
