Just launched. Heritage Register overlays.
Not all properties are equal…
When it comes to buying a property for development, it’s crucial to conduct extensive research and due diligence to ensure that the property is suitable for the intended use and that it doesn’t pose any significant risks or obstacles.
One of the most important steps in this process is to consult various maps and datasets that can provide valuable information about the property and its surroundings.
Two new datasets just added to Stash are Heritage Register and Biodiversity map layers. Developers can learn more about the history of a property and any potential restrictions that may be in place to protect its historical value or be aware of any protected species or habitats present on the property, as well as any regulations that may be in place to protect them.

The 4 Key Map Overlays to check:
Heritage Register Overlay
The heritage register is a list of properties and sites that have been designated as being of historical or cultural significance in Australia. By checking the heritage register, developers can learn more about the history of a property and any potential restrictions that may be in place to protect its historical value. Properties listed in the heritage register often have covenants or other legal agreements in place to protect the building and its surroundings. In Australia, heritage listing is done at the state level, and each state has their own Heritage Register. For example, in New South Wales, the Heritage Register is maintained by the Heritage Council of New South Wales.
Biodiversity Overlay
Biodiversity datasets are another important resource for developers to consult before making a purchase in Australia. These datasets provide information on the presence of various species and habitats in the area, as well as any conservation efforts that may be in place. Developers should be aware of any protected species or habitats present on the property, as well as any regulations that may be in place to protect them. Several datasets are available that can be used to identify biodiversity values on a property such as the Atlas of Living Australia, the National Reserve System and the Commonwealth Environmental Water Office.
Flood Maps Overlay
Flood maps are an essential tool for assessing the potential flood risk of a property. These maps show areas that are at high risk of flooding and can help developers identify potential hazards and develop mitigation strategies. Flooding can cause significant damage to a property and its contents, so it’s important to be aware of any potential flood risks before making a purchase. In Australia, flood maps are typically produced by state government agencies and can be accessed through their websites. For example, in New South Wales, the Floodplain Management Branch of the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment provides flood maps and flood studies for the whole state.
Fire Maps Overlay
Fire maps are another essential tool for assessing the potential fire risk of a property. These maps show areas that are at high risk of bushfire and can help developers identify potential hazards and develop mitigation strategies. Bushfires can cause significant damage to a property and its surroundings, so it’s important to be aware of any potential fire risks before making a purchase. In Australia, fire maps are typically produced by state and territory agencies responsible for bushfire management such as the New South Wales Rural Fire Service and other state departments.
