Find sites with Site Filter

5 min

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

Site Filter 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 Site Filter

    Select "Layers & filters" in the map toolbar. The panel on the right lists the map layers, and below them is a section headed "Site Filter". Select its heading to expand or collapse it.

  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

    Set a frontage band (Victoria)

  5. 5

  6. 6

  7. 7
