Get Your QLD Council Planning Report

Unlike Victoria (where every property has a free Vicplan PPR) or New South Wales (where the NSW Spatial Viewer generates a free property report for any address), Queensland has no state-wide property planning report tool. Planning controls live at the council level, and each of the 77 QLD councils has a different way of presenting them.

The QLD government does run two state-level mapping systems — SPP IMS (State Planning Policy) and DAMS (Development Assessment Mapping System) — but the PDFs they generate cover only state hazards and SARA referral triggers. They don't include the zone, overlays or planning controls that govern what you can actually do with a property. For that you need the council report.

Some councils — Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Logan, Ipswich, Townsville, Cairns and a handful of others — generate a high-quality address-keyed property report PDF that covers your zone, overlays and key planning controls in one document. Others only publish PDF zone maps you have to interpret yourself, or require you to call the council and request information.

This tool finds your council and points you at whatever they offer — direct deep-link to the right page, with council-specific instructions for getting the property report. If your council doesn't offer one, we point you to their planning scheme page so you can read the scheme directly.

Or skip all the gov searching — our paid QLD Property Snapshot ($9.90) will aggregate state hazards, SARA triggers, council zoning and overlays into a single 30-second branded report for any QLD address. (Coming soon — currently in build.)
