What it does

Everything you need to understand a site, in one run

450+ live spatial layers — ecology, abiotic conditions, hazards, tenure and planning — every feature that touches your study area, pulled together in a single run. Here's what you walk away with.

The full site picture, in one place

450+ layers of ecology, hazards, tenure and planning constraints, queried against your study area in one run.

Consultant-ready reports

A branded PDF or Word report, full or tailored to your project — ready to drop into an assessment or DA.

Projects you can save and reopen

Every study area and result set is kept in your account, ready to revisit or update whenever you need it.

Results in your formats

PDF, Word, CSV and GeoJSON — plug the output straight into your own workflow.

More than a data lookup

A full assessment workspace, not just a data feed

Pulling the layers together is only the start. SiteCensus gives you the tools to interrogate a site, see how it's changed, and turn the result into a defensible deliverable — all without leaving the map.

🎯

One-run spatial query

Query every active layer against your study area in a single click. Results group by category with area and % of site covered, statutory triggers flagged, and an option to catch significant features just outside your boundary too.

📐

Interactive map & measurement tools

Measure distance and area, read off coordinates, run quick buffer and setback checks, mask outside the site, swipe to compare layers and pull an elevation profile — a working map, not a static export.

🛰

Land cover & imagery over time

Step through satellite imagery, NDVI and land-cover change from 1988 to today — the evidence base for clearing history and remnant-versus-regrowth calls, right alongside the constraint query.

🦉

Species records, built in

WildNet and Atlas of Living Australia records are queried automatically, conservation-significant species are flagged in your results, and you can plot GBIF citizen-science records straight onto the map.

🗺

Branded, print-ready map outputs

A built-in print composer turns any map view into a professional, personalised figure — your logo and branding, plus legend, scale bar, north arrow and locality inset.

🔗

Straight to the source

One click into the authoritative portals for the checks a map can't fully replicate — EPBC Protected Matters (with your study-area centroid auto-copied), Native Title Vision, ACHRIS, the ALA and Queensland Globe.

Who it's for

Built for anyone who needs to know what's on a site

SiteCensus started as a tool for ecologists — but the same live constraint picture is just as useful to the people who plan, design, approve or review the work happening around it.

🦎

Ecologists & Environmental Scientists

Pull the full desktop constraint picture in minutes, for every new site.

🏛

Planners & Approval Officers

Independently check what's actually on a site a consultant is writing about — without waiting on someone else to walk you through it.

🏗

Engineers & Infrastructure Teams

Scope ecological, abiotic and planning constraints early, before a route or site design locks in a costly rework later.

🏢

Government & Agencies

A consistent, defensible constraint picture across every project you assess, sourced straight from the same live agency data.

FAQ

Common questions

Anything not covered here — email info@biogeo.com.au and we'll get back to you promptly.

I'm not an ecologist — is this still useful for me?
Yes. SiteCensus queries ecological, abiotic and planning-relevant data layers, not just ecology — planners, engineers, government officers and other project stakeholders use it to independently understand or verify what's on a site, without needing to be the one producing the report.
Is this the same data as the Queensland Government's own portals?
Mostly, yes — SiteCensus queries the same authoritative REST endpoints used by agency portals such as QSpatial, QPID and the EPBC Protected Matters Search Tool. It brings the relevant layers together in one place and runs them against your study area automatically, rather than requiring you to visit each portal separately.
Can I see how a site has changed over time?
Yes. The imagery and land-cover tools let you step through satellite imagery, NDVI and land-cover change from 1988 to the present — useful supporting evidence for clearing history and for distinguishing remnant vegetation from regrowth, separate from the constraint query itself.
Is it just a data lookup, or can I actually work on the map?
It's a full working map. Alongside the one-run constraint query you can measure distance and area, run buffer and setback checks, mask outside the study area, swipe to compare layers, read an elevation profile, plot citizen-science species records and build an annotated, report-ready figure — all in the browser.
Can I use the reports in a development application or ecological assessment?
Reports are suitable for use as supporting material in desktop assessments, EIS appendices, flora and fauna assessments and preliminary constraint reports. They are indicative only — results must be verified with the relevant data custodian before being relied upon for statutory decisions.
What happens when my 7-day trial ends?
Your subscription starts automatically at the monthly or annual rate you selected and your card is charged. You will receive a reminder email before the trial ends. If you cancel before day 7 you won't be charged anything.
Can we pay by purchase order or invoice?
Yes. If your organisation requires an invoice or purchase order before setting up an account, email info@biogeo.com.au and we'll arrange it. We issue invoices with net-14 or net-30 payment terms, and activate your account once payment clears. The trial period is waived for invoice customers.
How current is the data?
Every layer is fetched live from the agency REST endpoint at the time you run your assessment — there is no locally cached data. The layer panel shows the data freshness and update cadence for each layer.
Does it work on mobile or tablet?
SiteCensus is designed for desktop use and works best on a laptop or desktop browser. Basic functionality is accessible on a tablet, but the map interface and sidebar are optimised for larger screens.
Can I switch between monthly and annual billing?
Yes. You can switch from monthly to annual at any time from your account settings — the annual rate takes effect at the start of your next billing period.
What states are covered, and when will more be added?
Queensland is live now. Additional states are being built progressively and will roll out over the coming months. Once a second state goes live, an All-States Bundle will be available. Your existing subscription automatically includes each new state at no extra cost.
Can multiple people at my organisation share a subscription?
Solo covers a single user. The Team plan covers 2 to 15 users on a per-seat basis — add or remove members anytime, and the per-user rate drops as you add more, with no fixed bands or wasted seats. For 16+ users, or government and purchase-order arrangements, contact us for tailored pricing. Sharing login credentials is not permitted under the Terms of Service.
Is this connected to BioGeo's other work — will you be competing with us?
No. Outside of SiteCensus, BioGeo's work is geospatial science and ecological modelling only — corridor connectivity, habitat suitability modelling and remote sensing. BioGeo does not offer ecology desktop assessments, DA support or field ecology services, so SiteCensus isn't a funnel into work that competes with your own.
What if I need a feature the app doesn't have yet?
SiteCensus is actively developed. Email info@biogeo.com.au with what you need and it'll be considered for the roadmap — the product has grown substantially based on exactly this kind of feedback.
