Mapview 2025 Update: New Features and Expanded Coverage

We’re excited to share the biggest update to Mapview since we launched. This release brings expanded data coverage, new mobile features, and significant improvements to our planning data tools.

What’s New

Expanded State Coverage

We’ve extended our premium planning permit data to now include South Australia and Western Australia. Users in SA and WA can now access planning permit history, heritage overlays, and detailed zoning information directly in the Mapview platform.

New Mobile App Features

The Mapview iOS and Android apps have received significant updates:

  • Improved site alerts β€” get notified instantly when planning applications are lodged for properties you’re watching
  • Offline mode β€” save property data and satellite imagery for offline access in the field
  • Faster search β€” improved autocomplete and search performance, especially on mobile networks

Enhanced Planning Data

Our planning data team has worked to improve data accuracy and freshness across all regions:

  • Planning permit status updates now sync within 24 hours
  • Improved heritage overlay detail for Victorian properties
  • New contamination site overlay for environmental assessments

Coming Soon

We’re working on several new features for early 2026:

  • 3D City Model viewer β€” visualise development potential in 3D
  • Comparable sales intelligence β€” AI-powered comparable sales analysis
  • Team collaboration tools β€” share markers, notes and reports with your team

How to Access These Features

All Professional and Business plan subscribers have immediate access to the new features. If you’re on the Free plan, you can upgrade to Professional to unlock the full suite.

If you have questions or feedback, please contact our team β€” we’d love to hear from you.
