Draw Catchment Tool

Start here: select Point and click the property location on the map, or search for an address. Then choose a radial, custom polygon, travel catchment or joined area. The point stays with your catchment.

After adding your point, select Circle to create a radial centred on it. Adjust the radius slider to set the distance (e.g. 3km, 5km). The resulting area is labelled like 3km Radial.

Add your point first, then click to place vertices around it. Close the shape by clicking near the first vertex. A polygon containing your point is added automatically; if it misses the point, discard the draft and redraw. Saved as Custom Catchment.

Set a point then choose a travel mode and duration (e.g. 10 minutes). The system generates an isochrone — the true reachable area within that time. Labelled like 10 Min Drive Time.

Add your point first, then use the maroon join tool to combine adjoining suburbs or SA2s that share a boundary. Soft dashed outlines show neighbours you can add. The joined catchment must contain your point.

Once a shape is drawn, hit Run Analysis to instantly see population, demographics, suburbs, SA2 areas, and LGAs within the catchment. Available to everyone — no account required.

Any user can request a downloadable PDF report for any shape they've drawn. The report summarises key metrics for the catchment area.

Pro subscribers can run a comprehensive deep-dive analysis on any saved shape — covering housing, employment, education, health services, retail, growth trends and more. Results are presented as a full interactive dashboard.

Pro users can save shapes to their portfolio, re-open them later via a unique link, and run updated analysis at any time.

Switch to the Multi Check tab to build several catchments from a single location in one go — for example a 1km, 3km and 5km radius, a 10-minute drive time and a drawn boundary, all at once. Each one runs a full analysis and the results are stacked side by side, so you can compare the same statistics across every catchment at a glance.

Multi Check isn't a single-sector tool. Every catchment is summarised across population, growth, age, income, employment, housing, households, development and more — plus any specialist sector modules your plan includes. Whatever sectors your access covers, a matching summary is provided for each catchment, so you can spot the differences between locations or trade-area sizes quickly.

Search for an address or suburb, click Drop point on map then click where you want it, or use Use map centre. Every catchment is built from this one point (a drawn catchment is the exception — it defines its own boundary).

Add radial buffers (e.g. 1km, 2km, 3km) and drive / walk / cycle-time isochrones (e.g. 10 minutes). Adjust the distance or time on each row. Up to four catchments per run.

Click Draw catchment level, then click on the map to drop each point. Tap the first (large) point — or double-click — to close the boundary. Use Clear to remove shapes and the centre and start again.

Set a Name for these shapes and each saved catchment becomes “Name — level” (e.g. Westfield site — 2 km radius). Leave it blank and we use the suburb of your location automatically. Need something specific for one catchment? Type an optional name on its row to override it.

Each catchment runs a full analysis, one after another — so a run uses roughly one credit per catchment. The shapes are also saved to your portfolio, where you can re-open each one.

Results stack side by side across population, growth, age, income, employment, housing, households, development and more — plus any specialist sector modules your plan includes. The best value in each row is highlighted, and you can download the full comparison as a CSV.
