Search a Queensland street address on MapMyLot to view its mapped parcel boundary, area and perimeter. Five daily lookups are free with no account needed. The boundary data comes from Queensland's government cadastre. Queensland Globe also supports address search; MapMyLot brings the parcel and available property readouts together in one view.

What the readout panel shows

MapMyLot map view with the property boundary highlighted in teal

Tap the boundary and the readout panel shows the lot area in square metres and hectares, the perimeter in metres, and - where government data covers the location - the straight-line distance to the nearest high-voltage power line, mapped flood zone, the coast, and the nearest park. These are the same signals a professional search would reference, resolved automatically from the address instead of a separate lookup per topic.

Queensland Globe or MapMyLot?

Queensland Globe supports searches by address, lot on plan, suburb and other locations. Use it to explore government map layers. Use MapMyLot for a focused parcel readout with area, perimeter and available proximity checks. Neither map establishes an exact legal boundary on the ground.

What the boundary does and does not show

The parcel polygon is the mapped cadastral extent. Additional MapMyLot Pro layers, including mapped Queensland easements, are separate from that boundary. Check the title and registered documents for easement rights and covenants, and the relevant council planning scheme for planning and development information.

Note: cadastral data is subject to positional variation by location and source dataset. For a legally binding boundary determination - for example to resolve a fence line dispute or confirm a setback - engage a registered surveyor licensed in Queensland.

Free to check, Pro for unlimited

Five address lookups a day are free, with no account required - enough to check a handful of Queensland properties. MapMyLot Pro, at A$19.99 a month, removes the daily limit and adds unlimited PDF boundary reports, useful for agents, buyers researching several properties, or anyone doing repeat lookups. A single PDF report is also available for A$4.99 without a subscription.

Once you have the boundary, see how lot size is calculated across Australian states, check a property's distance to power lines, flood zones, the coast, and parks, or compare two Queensland lots side by side on the comparison page.

Check an address in three steps

  1. Open the map, enter the street address and select the matching result.
  2. Confirm the highlighted parcel is the one you meant to check, then read its area and perimeter.
  3. Use satellite view for visual context and review the available readouts. If the parcel or figures do not match your documents, investigate the difference before relying on them.

What to do after your first check

Confirm you have the right parcel, then compare its mapped size and shape with the listing or your documents. If you need a copy for your own research, a one-off PDF property report costs A$4.99. For repeated checks, Pro costs A$19.99/month and includes unlimited lookups and PDF reports. Compare the options after checking the address. Reports are informational and do not replace a survey or title search.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find my property boundary in Queensland?

Search your street address on MapMyLot and the property boundary appears as a highlighted polygon on the map, with area and perimeter in the readout panel. No lot number or account is needed. The data comes from QLD Spatial (data.qld.gov.au), the official government cadastral dataset.

Is QLD Globe the same as MapMyLot?

No. Queensland Globe is the Queensland Government's mapping portal and supports address and lot-on-plan searches. MapMyLot combines a parcel boundary with area, perimeter and available proximity information in a focused property readout. Both are mapping references, not a boundary survey.

How accurate are the property boundaries in MapMyLot?

Cadastral boundary data is subject to positional variation by location and source dataset. It is sourced from official government records and is suitable for most planning and reference purposes. For a legally binding boundary determination, such as a fence line dispute, engage a registered surveyor licensed in Queensland.

Is my area included?

All 3.47 million cadastral parcels across Queensland are covered, sourced from QLD Spatial. MapMyLot also covers:

  • Rest of Australia: New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, and the ACT
  • New Zealand
  • Canada: British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, and Yukon
  • UK: England, Wales, and Scotland

Does MapMyLot replace QLD Globe for planning or DA information?

No. MapMyLot provides boundary and property readouts, plus selected Pro layers where covered. Use government sources for their wider datasets, a title search for registered rights, and the relevant council for planning and development application information.
