For property planners
All overlays, no layer toggling
Auckland Council records, Unitary Plan zones, overlays, hazard layers, and constraint maps — aggregated from multiple council systems into one structured report in 30 seconds.
Streamline your site assessments
Stop toggling between GeoMaps, property search, and the rates portal. Get all the planning data you need in 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. All overlays, no layer toggling.
Overlays and constraints are scattered across different systems
Zone classification, all 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 in 30 seconds. Have the key planning controls, hazard data, and buildability calculations ready for your first client meeting.
Manual data collection for every property assessment
Automated, consistent aggregation of zoning, hazards, valuations, consents, infrastructure, and buildability — with the same methodology every time, for every property.

What's in the report
Six sections designed for professional site assessment, feasibility analysis, and resource consent preparation.
Planning Controls & Overlays
Auckland Unitary Plan zone classification, all overlays (including heritage, viewshaft, notable trees, and special character), precincts, and special controls with direct references to plan provisions.
Hazard Maps & Constraint Layers
Flood plains, overland flow paths, coastal erosion, land instability, and contamination data mapped onto the property boundary. The same GIS layers you'd extract from council, pre-aggregated.
Buildability & Site Analysis
Calculated site coverage, maximum building footprint, setback distances, height in relation to boundary, and impervious surface limits based on the property's zone rules and dimensions.
Infrastructure & Underground Assets
Mapped underground services including stormwater, water supply, and other utilities from council asset records. Critical for site feasibility and resource consent preparation.
Council Valuations & Rates
Live capital value, land value, improvement value, and full rates breakdown. Useful for feasibility analysis and understanding the existing use value of a site.
AI Site Assessment
An AI-generated summary identifying key development constraints, opportunities, and recommended next steps. A useful starting point for client briefings and proposal scoping.
How planners use SiteLenz
Initial Site Screening

Share a professional report with clients showing site constraints and opportunities — before your first billable meeting.
Consent Preparation
Use the structured data as a starting point for resource consent applications, identifying which rules and overlays to address.
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. All data is fetched live at the time of report generation.
- How current is the data?
- Reports are generated from live Auckland Council APIs at the time of request. Valuations reflect the latest council assessment, hazard data uses the most recent published GIS layers, and building consents are current as of the council's latest database update.
- Can I use SiteLenz reports in resource consent applications?
- SiteLenz reports provide a comprehensive overview of site constraints and planning controls that is excellent for initial site assessment and client briefings. Formal consent applications should reference official council records, but our reports help you quickly identify the key issues to address in your application.
- Does it cover all Auckland zones?
- Yes. SiteLenz supports all Auckland Unitary Plan zones including residential (single house, mixed housing suburban, mixed housing urban, terrace housing and apartment buildings), mixed use, business, rural, future urban, and special purpose zones, along with all associated overlays and precincts.
- How does this compare to doing the research myself?
- The data is the same — we source it from the same council systems you use. The difference is speed and consistency. What takes 30-45 minutes of navigating multiple portals and manually compiling data, SiteLenz delivers in 30 seconds in a structured, consistent format.
- Is there pricing for planning firms?
- We're developing practice-level plans with volume pricing and team management features. Contact us at hello@propertycheck.co.nz to discuss pricing for your firm.
