Site consolidation in Landchecker allows you to select multiple properties and create a combined site. This functionality helps you assess development potential by viewing consolidated property information, including total land size, combined frontage, planning zones and site dimensions.
You can consolidate neighbouring properties to evaluate development opportunities, or select distant properties across Australia to view combined information for an existing asset portfolio.
Who can use this feature: Site consolidation is available for members on Advanced and Enterprise plans. If you're on a different plan and want to use this feature, visit our plans page or request a callback from our team.
How Site Consolidation Works
When you consolidate sites in Landchecker, the platform automatically calculates and displays key property information for your combined site. As you add parcels to your consolidation, you'll see real-time updates showing:
Combined land size (total area of all selected properties)
Combined frontage measurement (total street frontage)
Planning zones affecting the consolidated site
Individual lot/plan details for each property
Orientation of each parcel
After creating your consolidated site, you can save it to a project for future reference or download a detailed consolidated site report to share with clients or team members.
Step-by-Step Guide to Consolidating Sites
Step 1: Start Your Search
Begin by searching for a property using the address search bar at the top of the Landchecker map. Enter the street address, suburb or property details to locate your first property.
Step 2: Enter Consolidate Mode
After finding your property, click the Consolidate Sites button on the right-hand side panel. Clicking this button activates Consolidate Mode, which allows you to select multiple properties on the map.
Step 3: Select Properties to Consolidate
Click on each property you want to include in your consolidated site. When you select a parcel, it will turn orange on the map, indicating that the property is now part of your consolidated site.
You can select as many properties as needed for your consolidation. Properties can be neighbouring parcels or distant properties located anywhere across Australia.
Step 4: Deselect Properties if Needed
If you accidentally select a property or want to remove a parcel from your consolidation, simply click on the orange parcel again to deselect it. The parcel will return to its original colour on the map.
Step 5: Confirm Your Selection
Once you've finished selecting all the properties you want to consolidate, click the check button (tick icon) in the top-centre of the map. This confirms your consolidated site selection.
Step 6: Review Consolidated Site Information
After confirming your selection, the right-hand side panel updates to display comprehensive details about your consolidated site:
Combined land size: Total area of all selected parcels
Combined frontage: Total street frontage measurement
Planning zones: All planning zones affecting the consolidated site
Lot/plan details: Individual lot and plan numbers for each parcel
Orientations: Compass orientation for each property
From this panel, you can choose to Save to Project (to access the consolidated site later) or View Report (to download a detailed consolidated site report).
Customising Your Consolidated Site's Appearance
Before confirming your consolidated sites, you can customise how the selected parcels appear on the map by changing the fill colour and stroke colour. This customisation helps you visually differentiate your consolidated site from other properties on the map.
How to Change Fill and Stroke Colours
You can choose colours in three ways:
Use the opacity tool to select a custom shade and adjust transparency
Enter a specific hex code if you have a particular colour in mind
Select from preset standard colours for quick colour selection
After selecting a colour, you can adjust the opacity level. This gives you more control over how prominently your consolidated site appears on the map, making it easier to see underlying map details while still clearly identifying your consolidated parcels.
Managing Site Dimensions Display
As you add properties to your consolidation, Landchecker automatically displays site dimensions on the map, showing measurements of your consolidated site. You have control over how these dimensions appear.
Showing or Hiding Dimensions
To toggle the dimensions display on or off:
Click the three-dot button (⋯) in the action bar
Select the option to show or hide site dimensions
You can also switch between different units of measurement for your consolidated site by choosing between metres or feet.
This flexibility allows you to work in the unit of measurement that best suits your workflow or client requirements.
What Happens After Creating a Consolidated Site
After you create a consolidated site, you have several options for working with your consolidated information:
Save to a project: Store your consolidated site in a Landchecker project so you can revisit it later, add notes or share it with team members
Download a report: Generate a consolidated site report that includes all property information, planning zones and site dimensions in a professional PDF format
Rename or delete: Manage your saved consolidated sites by renaming them for better organisation or deleting sites you no longer need
Share with others: Share your consolidated site with colleagues or clients who have access to your Landchecker projects
