Mosaic Reshapes Planning, Development Landscape

Mosaic, a game-changing planning and development tool from national planning consultancy and technology leader Mecone, is rapidly emerging as one of Australia’s most widely used planning analytics tools.

And with a base of 2800 unique users and 1500 daily users from across the country, a new, higher-end version of the platform has now been released.

Mosaic’s core role is to provide users with crucial planning and development data in one central location.

Catering to jurisdictions including New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia and the Australian Capital Territory, Mosaic offers insights into zoning, building heights, and floor space ratios.

It also covers off environmental aspects such as flooding risks, vegetation cover, topography, and aircraft noise.

Going beyond surface-level data, Mosaic facilitates site-specific analysis by offering details such as cadastre and lot information.

The platform also encompasses demographic layers, shedding light on current and projected population levels, along with transportation data sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics for comprehensive travel-to-work insights.

▲ Mecone Mosaic is used in identifying project origination opportunities and for undertaking rapid urban spatial analytics.

Having this information in one place and so easily accessible delivers savings in time as well as the the peace of mind that comes from using a central source of truth, across all jurisdictions.

In a move to elevate its capabilities, Mecone has unveiled Mosaic Pro—an advanced version of the platform designed to redefine planning and development processes.

Mecone managing director Ben Hendriks said Mosaic Pro was the result of “our commitment to providing the very best strategic planning tools for our users”.

Mosaic Pro introduces several enhancements, notably integrating the NSW Development Applications Data pipeline, updated weekly to keep users abreast of the latest developments. For future versions, Mecone is sourcing planning proposal applications across NSW and ways to make site finding analysis easier.

As well, the pro platform incorporates data from the NSW Property Sales and Valuations dataset, offering valuable property lot insights for informed decision-making.

Mosaic Pro also goes a step further by allowing users to upload their own spatial files, site information, and study areas via their personalised Workbench, enhancing customisation and user-driven analysis.

Martin Karm, director of Plantech at Mecone, said it “allows users to achieve cost savings and obtain new insights on their projects and strategies with the use of modern technology”.

The platform’s utility lies in its ability to streamline processes and deliver fresh perspectives in an increasingly tech-driven landscape.

In addition to Mosaic, Mecone’s PlanTech team offers data brokering and sourcing, alongside tailored digital mapping solutions through general consulting services.

This comprehensive suite of offerings caters to diverse planning and development needs.

As urban landscapes in Australia undergo transformation, Mecone’s Mosaic has emerged as a formidable ally, driving forward a future where technology empowers smarter planning and development decisions.
