Planning controls for Victoria and New South Wales, written against the ordinance.Read the library
Product roadmap

What ships today, what is early, and what comes next.

This page is the public plan for Land Axis — deliberately honest. We prioritise map quality in the states we cover and trustworthy feasibility over claiming national coverage or finished multi-profession packs before they exist.

How to read this roadmap

Status labels and timeframes

Timeframes are indicative, not contracts. Dates move when data licences, quality bars or regulatory gates require it. When something is early access, you can use it — but you should expect rough edges and verify outputs.

Available now

Shipped for general use at the quality bar described.

Early access

Usable now; incomplete, expanding, or still being hardened.

Next

Actively prioritised in the near term (about 1–3 months).

Planned

Committed direction; sequencing may shift (about 3–12 months).

Later

On the horizon; not near-term delivery.

Gated

Blocked on a milestone (e.g. national coverage or a licence partner).

At a glance

Four horizons

Available now

Victorian and New South Wales site map: address lookup, indicative zones, overlays, parcels and lot geometry for screening.

Early access

Building envelope tests on supported typologies, full feasibility studies and quick feasibility with one-click promotion, Excel / PDF exports and the lender pack, scenarios and comparison, sensitivity, and the AI tools.

Next (~1–3 months)

Trust and depth: richer control resolution (overshadowing geometry), study polish, and Queensland, named as the next state.

Beyond (3–12+ months)

Deeper planning intelligence, title/encumbrance paths, multi-state coverage, then gated streams (build tools, capital matching).

How we prioritise

Principles that override feature FOMO

  1. 01
    Path to appraisal first

    We favour work that shortens map click → planning context → feasibility → shareable output.

  2. 02
    Trust before breadth

    A wrong KPI or a false “clear title” costs more than a missing feature. Unknown stays unknown.

  3. 03
    State-by-state depth before national marketing

    State expansion is strategic — but we do not advertise coverage we cannot defend.

  4. 04
    Grounded AI only

    AI features process your content or cited sources to help you work. They are not oracles.

Workstream

Site Map & planning intelligence

The map is the front door. Victoria was built first and New South Wales is live on the same footing; the next state follows when its coverage and trust are strong enough.

Address & site lookup (VIC, NSW)

Available now

Live

Search by address or select a site on the map to open property context for screening.

  • Embedded map experience (including map.landaxis.com.au)
  • Public planning/cadastral layers for looked-up Victorian and NSW sites

Who it's for: Any free account (no paid plan needed); the homepage address preview works without signing in

Note: Indicative only — confirm with council, scheme and title before acting.

Planning zones & overlays on the map

Available now

Live · refreshed on source publication cycles

Victorian and New South Wales planning zones and common control layers for first-pass constraint awareness.

  • Layer visibility for zoning and key overlays (e.g. flood, heritage, bushfire where present in our data)
  • Not a full scheme extract or permit determination

Note: Layer completeness and currency vary; always verify against the planning scheme.

Parcels, lot geometry & site measures

Available now

Live

Cadastral context and indicative dimensions for sites you look up — not a registered survey.

Note: Boundaries and areas can be approximate, especially on multi-lot or complex parcels.

Scheme clause text & permit pathway packs

Planned

Target: mid–late 2026

Structured clause excerpts and permit/referral pathway context you can quote in a desktop study — beyond zone codes on a map.

  • Per-council scheme wording where we can source and maintain it reliably
  • Triggers / pathway summaries that do not claim to replace a planner

Who it's for: Town planners, developers, agents

Sales & rental evidence on the site record

Planned

Target: late 2026 – 2027 (data-dependent)

Settled comparables and adjustment-friendly evidence linked to the site record — not live today.

Note: Depends on licensed data access and product design that keeps evidence auditable.

Workstream

Building envelopes & massing

Early tooling to test what may fit under selected controls and typologies before concept design spends hours.

Envelope / massing tests (selected typologies)

Early access

Early access · expanding through 2026

Generate test envelopes from setbacks, height and related controls on supported lot types and typologies.

  • Actively developed rules for common low-rise / multi-dwelling patterns
  • Results vary by site geometry and control coverage

Note: First-pass design aid only — not certification, and not complete for every control or overshadowing case.

Richer control resolution (overshadowing, easements, edge cases)

Next

Near term · next 1–4 months

Edge cases (slope, battle-axe and corner lots, lower-zone boundaries) and easement checks are shipping in envelopes now; overshadowing geometry is next, and is still assessed qualitatively today.

Who it's for: Architects, developers

Workstream

Feasibility & financial modelling

Map click → lender-ready feasibility is the north star. The path works end to end today in early access, exports and the lender pack included; polish and trust are what come next.

Full feasibility studies

Early access

Early access · live for signed-in users

Multi-module studies: revenues, costs, financing, cashflow, tax and return KPIs on a company workspace.

  • Scenario inputs you control (assumptions are yours)
  • Residual land value, margin and related KPIs as modelled outputs
  • Company-scoped projects and studies

Who it's for: Developers, development managers. Studies are on every plan; residual land value, reports, exports, scenarios and the AI tools are Pro

Note: Decision support only — not valuation, lending advice or a certified model.

Quick feasibility from the map

Early access

Early access

Lightweight screening model from map context; Save as a study promotes it into a full study in one step. Residual land value is Pro.

Note: Coverage and prefill quality still improving; verify every input.

Reliable Excel / PDF export (lender-ready packaging)

Early access

Early access · live for Pro

Excel workbook and PDF exports from every study tab, plus the lender pack on Reports. Promoted assumptions are reviewed before an export goes out.

Who it's for: Anyone sharing a study outside the app

Scenarios & versioning (clone / side-by-side KPIs)

Early access

Early access · live for Pro

Duplicate a study as a scenario, compare key metrics side by side, and save and restore versions, without forking spreadsheets by hand.

Map → pre-filled feasibility in one gesture

Early access

Early access

Planning → Design → Feasibility → Save as a study: one click turns a map screening and its massing into a full study, with every assumed figure flagged for review.

Note: Prefill quality depends on map and envelope coverage; review every flagged assumption.

Sensitivity upgrades & mobile read-only deal summary

Early access

Early access · shareable summary to follow

Tornado and land-value sensitivity (Pro) and a read-only KPI strip on phones are live; a shareable client-meeting summary arrives with share links.

Workstream

AI-assisted tools

AI only where it is grounded in your content or cited sources. No ungrounded “magic” numbers as product claims.

Feasibility PDF import (structured extraction)

Early access

Early access

Upload a feasibility PDF and extract structured inputs into a study to reduce re-keying.

Note: Outputs can be wrong — always review extracted fields before relying on them.

Ask Sterling across your studies (grounded Q&A)

Early access

Early access

Ask questions against your company’s stored study content (retrieval-augmented), not the open web as fact. Pro.

Note: Responses are assistive; they are not professional advice.

Ask Sterling in a study and on the map

Early access

Early access · Pro

Ask Sterling inside each study answers from that study, and on the map it answers from the site record for Victorian and NSW sites.

Note: Grounded in the study or site record in front of it; where the answer is not there, it says so.

Portfolio + planning-aware questions

Planned

Later 2026 – 2027

Cross-study and planning-aware questions (e.g. which saved sites touch a new overlay) with citations.

Section 32 / contract document parsing (covenants & schedules)

Planned

Target: late 2026 (Stage 1 encumbrance path)

User-supplied vendor statements / contracts → extract covenant and easement schedule language into diligence flags.

Note: User supplies the document; not a substitute for legal review of title.

Workstream

Workspaces, sharing & billing

Company workspaces exist today; multi-party deal collaboration and polished billing UX keep maturing.

Company workspaces & roles

Available now

Live

Organisation membership and role-based access for people you add to your company.

Free / Pro / Enterprise plans

Available now

Live · see Pricing

Free: the map, 20 sites a month, feasibility studies and quick feasibility. Pro: unlimited sites, residual land value, exports, reports, scenarios and the AI tools. Enterprise: teams.

  • Founding-member style Pro pricing published on the Pricing page
  • Optional aerial imagery add-on described separately (contact to enable)

Self-serve billing polish

Early access

Early access · rolling out

Subscription checkout and account billing surfaces are shipping in stages.

Note: If something looks incomplete in-app, contact [email protected].

Team collaboration (comments, approvals, shared libraries)

Planned

Enterprise track · 2026–2027

Line-level comments on study figures are live; approvals and shared libraries are next on the Enterprise track.

Lender / investor share links (read-only branded views)

Planned

After reliable export · target later 2026

Share a read-only study view without handing over edit access to the full workspace.

Workstream

Geographic expansion

Victoria first, then New South Wales. Each state ships only when its quality is defensible — breadth without trust is a product failure.

Victoria (VIC)

Available now

Primary focus · ongoing depth

Live planning and cadastral context for looked-up sites, plus early envelope and feasibility workflows.

Note: Not every parcel attribute is complete; coverage depth varies by layer.

New South Wales (NSW)

Available now

Live

First expansion state after VIC: planning layers, property click and quick feasibility end-to-end.

  • ETL + tiles + state-aware API adapters
  • VIC behaviour is unchanged — NSW was added alongside it, not on top of it

Note: Coverage depth varies by layer, as it does in VIC — verify against the LEP and the planning certificate before acting.

Queensland (QLD)

Next

Next state · sequenced after NSW hardening

The third state through the same playbook: ETL and tiles, then state-aware adapters, then feasibility correctness.

Note: Named as next, not dated — the schedule follows data access, not marketing.

Other states & territories (SA, WA, TAS, NT, ACT)

Planned

Rolling after QLD

Repeat the state playbook using open data and licensed extracts where required. Licence timing can gate WA/NT-style datasets.

Note: Order may change based on data access, not marketing preference alone.

Per-state stamp duty & planning-scheme correctness in feasibility

Available now

Live for VIC and NSW · each new state before launch

Stamp duty and land tax on the Victorian and NSW schedules, and NSW contributions, are transcribed. Feasibility math and links must be state-aware — we will not claim national feasibility correctness until each state is wired.

Workstream

Title, easements & encumbrance intelligence

A restrictive covenant can invalidate a yield assumption. We will never show “clear” when the answer is unknown.

Spatial easements (VIC where published)

Early access

Partial · live layers where ingested

Published easement geometry can appear in map/site context where our data includes it.

Note: Incomplete by nature of source data — not a full encumbrance search.

Three-state encumbrance flags (Confirmed / Likely / Unknown)

Planned

Design + Stage 1–2 · later 2026

Panel language that refuses to treat unknown as clear — trust rule for screening.

On-demand title search via broker (paid, user-initiated)

Later

2027 target · legal & commercial gated

Authenticated, paid title/instrument fetch for covenant facts — never automatic on anonymous map pan.

Note: Depends on broker terms, pricing and counsel on what derived facts we may retain.

Workstream

Later product streams (gated)

These are real directions, not near-term promises. They stay gated so Stream 1 (map + feasibility) is not diluted.

Stream 2 — Build / construct tools

Gated

After national map + feasibility coverage ships

Specification, take-off, estimation and tendering-style tools for the delivery phase.

Note: Legacy PM scaffolding in the codebase stays hidden until this stream launches.

Stream 3 — Capital matching (marketplace)

Gated

Admin-gated demo now · live wholesale only after AFSL/CAR partner

Sponsor↔wholesale investor matching built on feasibility-backed packages. Public live raises only after regulatory partnership milestones.

  • Demo / allowlisted access may exist for partner conversations
  • No public invitation to invest via Land Axis until live mode is properly licensed

Note: Not a current consumer feature on the marketing site.
