Listing Planning Reviews

Listing Planning Reviews · NSW

Every listing gets a planning answer before the first open home.

The day your property lists, we review it and send you a one-page buyer summary: what can be built, which approval pathway applies, and the one risk a buyer's consultant would find. You hand it to buyers. They stop asking "STCA?"

Uplift the portal missesThe Planning Portal shows FSR 0.5:1. Waverley LEP cl 4.4A lifts this lot to 0.784:1, about 83 m² more floor area than a buyer would assume.
The one thing to checkWaverley DCP 2022 geotechnical mapping could remove the CDC route. Confirm with a s10.7 certificate before relying on CDC.

The question at every open home

Buyers ask what they can build. The listing says STCA.

Agents field the same four questions on every residential listing. Most campaigns answer them with "subject to council approval", or pay a town planner per property.

Can I put a granny flat in? Is it duplex-able? Can I subdivide? Knock down or renovate? What's the FSR?

STCA is the question we answer for a living. A written answer, early in the campaign, lets serious buyers price the site and gives you a clear "no" on paper before auction day.

How it works

From "just listed" to a buyer-ready answer the same day.

Step 1

Your listing goes live

We pick it up from the portal, or you forward your "just listed" or open-home email. No forms to fill in.

Step 2

We review it

Zoning, FSR, height, lot size, hazard overlays, CDC and DA pathways, and the cadastre, checked against what the listing says.

Step 3

You get the summary

A one-page buyer summary to forward or print, plus the full report and slope plan if a buyer wants the detail.

Optional

Certainty for the vendor

If the site has real upside, a concept scheme or pre-DA turns "potential" into a defined project before sale.

What a review can include

We'd like you to tell us which of these matter.

These are the pieces we're testing. Rate them in the questions below, so we build what agents actually use.

Core

The four buyer answers

Granny flat, duplex, subdivision and knock-down rebuild: yes, no or conditional, with the reason in one line.

Core

Listing copy check

Lot area, frontage and slope from the cadastre and terrain data, compared with the listing. Errors corrected before a buyer's consultant finds them.

Core

Hidden uplift

Controls the portal understates: Low and Mid-Rise Housing, TOD precincts, small-lot FSR clauses.

Core

The one risk

The single issue most likely to change a buyer's price, and the check that settles it: survey, BAL, s10.7, geotech.

Developer sites

Yield and feasibility

Unit yield, scheme options and the land value that works for a developer, including split and amalgamated sites.

Delivery

Your office's whole list

Automatic review of each new listing, or one weekly brief covering your open-home list. Co-branding and a QR code for flyers are options.

Pilot · Jul–Sep 2026

What 18 listings showed us.

We sent free planning reviews on live listings in the Sutherland Shire, Illawarra, Central Coast and Eastern Suburbs. In most cases the review told the agent something the listing didn't.

Miranda · house

Listing said 601 m². The cadastre says 592 m², and that difference decides four separate controls.

Miranda · house

A "level block" was a 4.2% grade, and biodiversity mapping removed the complying development route.

Vaucluse and Bondi · houses

The portal showed FSR 0.5:1. A small-lot clause lifts both sites, to 0.784:1 and 0.831:1.

Towradgi · house

Frontage 70 mm short of the 15 m duplex CDC threshold. A survey settles it either way.

Kirrawee · house

A clean "no" on development (C4 zone, lot below the dual-occupancy minimum), on paper before auction day.

Wyong · house

Inside a TOD precinct, but 0.9 m short of the required width. Amalgamating with the neighbour unlocks it.

"This is really helpful, thank you."

Sales agent, Sutherland Shire

"This kind of info is useful for developer buyers and those specifically looking for sites."
