Overview:

We are looking for a Subdivision Development Site Analyst to identify and assess subdivision opportunities across Queensland. You will systematically research on-market and off-market sites, perform desktop planning and constraints checks, engage with agents for key information, and provide clear Go / No Go / Hold recommendations. This role requires attention to detail, strong analytical skills, and the ability to manage an organised pipeline.

Independent Contractor Perks:

• Permanent work from home
• Immediate hiring
• Steady freelance job

Job Highlights:

• Hourly Rate: Equivalent of USD 7.60 / hour in the applicants local currency
• Schedule: Flexible during client business hours
• Work Arrangement: Work from home
• Contract: Independent Contractor

Purpose

• Systematically source on-market and off-market subdivision sites in QLD.
• Complete structured desktop planning and constraints checks.
• Engage with agents to obtain information and price guidance.
• Provide clear initial Go / No Go / Hold recommendations and maintain an organised pipeline.

Key Responsibilities

1. Source on-market subdivision opportunities

• Regularly scan major property portals (e.g., realestate.com.au, Domain, relevant commercial/englobo listings) for large residential lots, englobo land, rural-residential with subdivision potential, and infill sites in agreed QLD LGAs and suburbs.
• Apply agreed filters (minimum land size, preferred zoning, pricing guidance) and record core details (address, link, agent, land size, stated zoning, price/guide, listing date) in a site register, prioritising by quality.

2. Identify off-market targets

• Use tools such as Google Maps, Archistar, and council mapping to identify larger parcels in target corridors suitable for future subdivision.
• Maintain an Off-Market Target Register with property details, observed use, available ownership data, and brief notes on development potential (zoning, location, surrounding context), and prepare shortlists for direct outreach.

3. Contact agents and gather information

• For shortlisted sites, email or call agents to obtain IMs, contracts, and plans (where available), confirm basic services and access, enquire about existing or lapsed DAs, and seek realistic price guidance and vendor expectations.
• Capture key points from each interaction (date, agent, notes) in the site record and, where appropriate, arrange calls/meetings in the calendar for high-potential opportunities.

4. Conduct desktop planning and constraints checks

• Using planning tools and checklists provided, confirm zoning and land use, check major overlays (flood, bushfire, environmental/biodiversity, obvious easements or infrastructure corridors), and review context and services (adjacent uses, nearby development, access to roads/town centres).
• Where possible, form a high-level yield view based on zoning and approximate developable area (e.g., estimated lot range).

5. Provide initial recommendations and maintain the pipeline

• For each shortlisted site, prepare a concise written summary (1–2 paragraphs plus key data) including core facts, headline planning/constraint findings, service/access notes, and a clear recommendation: Go / Hold / No Go, with reasons.
• Keep the site pipeline register up to date (on-market and off-market sites, status, notes, and next steps), file all related documents in an organised folder structure, and provide a brief weekly summary of new sites, changes in status, and standout opportunities.

Requirements:

• Strong research and analytical skills.
• Confident with Excel (filters, sorting, basic formulas).
• Good written and spoken English for clear, concise summaries and professional communication with agents.
• High attention to detail and consistency in data entry and record-keeping.
• Comfortable using online maps; willing to learn council planning tools and follow structured checklists.
• Organized and process-driven; able to manage and update a pipeline independently.
• Experience in property research, buyer’s agent support, real estate VA work, or planning support; some knowledge of Australian property or planning systems.
