Why this is hard

Finding out what you can build on your own land is harder than it should be.

Planning schemes are written for lawyers

Hundreds of pages of zones, overlays, and schedules. Even if you find the right document, understanding what it means for your specific block takes hours — and expertise most people don't have.

A planner consultation starts at $2,000+

A formal feasibility assessment from a qualified town planner costs $2,000–$5,000 — before you've even decided whether it's worth pursuing. Most homeowners never get that far.

You don't know what questions to ask

Without a baseline understanding of your property's potential, every conversation with a builder, architect, or planner is a guessing game. You can't evaluate advice you don't have context for.

Common questions

What exactly is in the report?
A PDF covering your zoning classification and what it allows, site coverage and height limits, planning permits approved within 500m in the last two years, what you could realistically build on your lot, comparable development site sales nearby, and plain-English recommended next steps.
How accurate is it?
We use publicly available council planning data and recent permit records. The report gives you a solid, reliable picture of your property's development potential. For a formal assessment — one you'd take to a lender or use to engage a builder — you'd still engage a qualified town planner, but this gets you there informed.
What if my property isn't in Melbourne?
We're currently covering Melbourne metropolitan councils and expanding. If you submit outside our coverage area, we'll refund you in full — no questions asked. You're welcome to submit anyway and we'll let you know.
How long does it take?
We aim to deliver your report within 5 business days of payment. We'll email you when it's ready.
What happens after I get the report?
That's entirely up to you. If your property shows genuine potential and you want to take it further, the report tells you clearly what the next step is. There's no pressure.
What do you do with my details?
We use your address to prepare the report and your contact details to send it to you. We don't sell your details or pass them to anyone else. See our Privacy Policy.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If we can't cover your area, you get a full refund automatically. If you're unhappy with the report for any reason, contact us at hello@lodgepath.com and we'll make it right.
