Site Finder
Discover sites with untapped development potential or similar properties for comparison to your subject property using the powerful Site Finder tool.
Identify the number of sites in a state, suburb, or municipality. Search many areas in a single search. Use search filters, such as land size, zones, overlays and more, to narrow down an entire state to a handful of suitable sites in seconds. Alternatively, exclude property attributes that you don’t want to see.
“To help us stay ahead of the competition, we use Landchecker - it delivers us the information we need at our fingertips. The decisions Abadeen makes today are crucial to the projects we plan on delivering tomorrow, and Landchecker aids that decision-making.”

Use Site Finder to Search the Following Criteria
Site Finder makes the complex task of finding a specific site simple and easy with the use of property data and filters to limit the pool size to sites that matter most to you.
Suburb or Municipality — search a single area or multiple areas in one go
Land Size Range — set a minimum and maximum to exclude sites outside your target
Frontage Range — set a minimum frontage to meet your design or planning requirements
Planning Zone — return only properties zoned for your intended use
Overlay (include) — surface properties carrying a specific overlay
Overlay (exclude) — remove properties with overlays that don’t suit your brief, such as heritage or flood
Orientation — filter by north, south, east, or west-facing frontage
Advanced plan unlocks additional search areas and filters:
Statistical Area 1 — Search by ABS statistical area boundaries
Depth — filter by the depth of a lot to assess buildable area and setback requirements
Lot Shape — identify regular or irregular lots relevant to your design brief
Squareness Factor — filter by how square a lot is, useful for sites where building efficiency matters
Slope — surface or exclude sloping sites based on your construction and cost tolerance
Filters vary by state based on how each state's planning authority publishes its data.
Save, Export and Collaborate
Once you have a shortlist, you have several options:
Save to a Project — add notes, upload documents (titles, planning certificates, copy of plans), and share with team members for collaborative review
Export as CSV or XLS — import results into Excel or your own system
Export as KML — open results in Google Earth, QGIS, or compatible GIS tools
