Release notes - new housing and flood data

Here’s what's new in Landchecker Late March 2025

Low and Mid-Rise (LMR) Housing Data

New South Wales customers can now access the LMR data in the Landchecker platform.

The LMR Housing Policy is designed to streamline planning controls to encourage the construction of low to mid-rise residential buildings to increase the availability of affordable housing. This policy specifically targets residential areas within an 800-metre walking distance of 171 town centres and train stations across metropolitan Sydney, as well as the Central Coast, Illawarra-Shoalhaven, and Hunter regions.

ICEYE flood data

Landchecker has recently partnered with ICEYE to offer our customer near real-time flood data. ICEYE uses synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites to capture detailed flood data regardless of weather conditions or time of day. Unlike traditional flood mapping methods, which can take days or weeks, ICEYE delivers rapid insights. This ensures critical information reaches stakeholders when they need it most.
