How It Works
From street address to downloadable GIS data in minutes — here's what happens.
Enter a street address
Type any Queensland or New South Wales street address. We locate the exact cadastral parcel at that address — this becomes the anchor for all subsequent data requests.
Choose your datasets and format
Select exactly what you need — one layer or all of them. Then pick your output format: Shapefile, DXF, GeoPackage, or any combination. You can also choose your target coordinate system.
The coordinate system is auto-suggested based on the location (MGA Zone 54, 55, or 56 depending on longitude). GDA2020 is the default; GDA94 and WGS84 geographic are also available.
We fetch the data
Each dataset is fetched from the relevant state government source and clipped to a buffer around your property. Here's what each dataset contains:
| Dataset | Description | Formats |
|---|---|---|
| Property Boundary | Cadastral lot polygon with lot/plan identifier | SHP, DXF, GPKG |
| Contours (LiDAR 1m) | 1m interval contour lines. Z coordinates in DXF, elevation attribute in SHP/GPKG | SHP, DXF, GPKG |
| Geology | Bedrock geology polygons with rock unit name and age | SHP, DXF, GPKG |
| Soils (ASC) | Australian Soil Classification polygons | SHP, DXF, GPKG |
| Acid Sulphate Soils | Acid sulphate soil risk classification polygons | SHP, DXF, GPKG |
| Watercourses | Mapped waterway centrelines | SHP, DXF, GPKG |
| Roads | Road centrelines within the buffer | SHP, DXF, GPKG |
| Elevation Points | Spot elevation points sampled from the DEM | SHP, GPKG |
| Elevation Raster | GeoTIFF DEM clipped to the parcel | GeoTIFF (always included when requested) |
| TIN Surface | Triangulated Irregular Network from DEM | DXF only |
Download your ZIP
All selected layers and formats are packaged into a single ZIP file and downloaded directly in your browser. The ZIP is organised by format: shp/, dxf/, and the GeoPackage at the root. A COPYRIGHT.txt is included noting the data sources.
DXF exports include the property boundary and contours draped onto the DEM surface, giving true 3D coordinates ready for Civil 3D or similar.

Data is sourced from state government spatial portals and reflects the currency of those sources. LiDAR coverage varies by area — some rural locations may have lower resolution elevation data.
