Lesson 3 of 5

Find sites with Suburb Search

5 min

Filter a locality by land area, zones and overlays to build a shortlist.

Suburb Search is the opposite of address search: instead of checking one site you already know, you ask the map for every parcel in a locality that matches your development criteria. Use it to build a shortlist before you do any modelling.

  1. 1

    Open the dialog

    Select "Suburb Search" in the map toolbar. A dialog headed "Suburb Search" opens.

  2. 2

    Pick the locality

    Under "Locality", type into the field (placeholder "Search localities…") and select a suburb from the list. The chosen locality appears as a chip you can clear.

  3. 3

    Set the size band

    Under "Site Area (m²)", set "Min" and "Max". This is the fastest filter for a development brief — for example a townhouse site band rather than every backyard in the suburb.

  4. 4

    Include or exclude zones

  5. 5

    Include or exclude overlays

  6. 6

    Run the search
