For property planners
Planning data without the portal hopping
Available Auckland Council records, Unitary Plan zones, overlays, hazard layers, and constraint maps — brought together from multiple public sources into one structured report for early review.

Streamline your site assessments
Reduce toggling between GeoMaps, property search, and the rates portal by bringing available first-pass planning information into one structured view.
Hours lost toggling between council GIS portals
SiteLenz aggregates data from Auckland Council's GeoMaps, property search, rates portal, and multiple GIS hazard layers into one structured report. The goal is to cut down manual layer toggling and first-pass research.
Overlays and constraints are scattered across different systems
Zone classification, overlays, precincts, controls, and hazard layers presented in one view with direct references to Auckland Unitary Plan provisions.
Clients want a preliminary assessment before you've had time to research
Generate a comprehensive property intelligence report quickly. Have the key planning controls, hazard data, and buildability calculations ready for your first client meeting.
Manual data collection for every property assessment
Automated aggregation of available zoning, hazards, valuations, consents, infrastructure, and buildability information to support a more consistent first-pass review.

What's in the report
Six sections designed to support early-stage site assessment, feasibility research, and consent preparation.
Planning Controls & Overlays
Available Auckland Unitary Plan zone classification, overlays, precincts, and special controls, with references to relevant plan provisions where available.
Hazard Maps & Constraint Layers
Available flood-plain, overland-flow-path, coastal, land-instability, and contamination information shown with property context where source data allows. Verify material findings against official sources.
Buildability & Site Analysis
Indicative site-coverage, building-footprint, setback, height-in-relation-to-boundary, and impervious-surface information based on available property and planning data.
Infrastructure & Underground Assets
Available mapped underground-service context, including stormwater and water supply, from published asset records. This is preliminary context only, not a services search or design confirmation.
Council Valuations & Rates
Available capital value, land value, improvement value, and rates information. Confirm current figures directly with Council where they are material to feasibility work.
AI Site Assessment
An AI-generated early-stage summary of available constraints, opportunities, and questions for follow-up. Review it before using it in client briefings or proposal scoping.
How planners use SiteLenz
Initial Site Screening
Review available planning controls, hazards, and indicative development context before commissioning a full feasibility study.
Client Briefings
Share a reviewed report with clients to discuss available site constraints, opportunities, and the questions that still need investigation.
Consent Preparation
Use the structured data to identify rules and overlays for further research; formal applications require official records and project-specific analysis.
Frequently asked questions
- What council data sources does SiteLenz aggregate?
- We pull data from Auckland Council GeoMaps (GIS layers), the property information portal, rates and valuations databases, building consents records, and multiple hazard layers including flood plains, overland flow, coastal erosion, and land instability. The report is assembled from current council and public-source responses available at the time of generation.
- How current is the data?
- Reports are generated from current Auckland Council and public-source responses available at the time of request. Valuations reflect the latest council assessment we receive, and hazard and consent coverage depends on the latest published source data.
- Can I use SiteLenz reports in resource consent applications?
- SiteLenz reports can support initial site assessment and client briefings by bringing together available planning context. Formal consent applications must rely on official Council records and project-specific professional analysis.
- What Auckland areas and zones are covered?
- SiteLenz is designed for Auckland addresses and supports a broad range of Auckland Unitary Plan zones. Information availability can vary by address, zone, overlay, and published source, so review the report's source notes and verify material findings.
- How does this compare to doing the research myself?
- The data is sourced from the same council systems you already use. The difference is that SiteLenz compiles the core planning picture into a structured report so you can start from a cleaner first pass.
