Infrastructure claims are a staple of property marketing, but separating fact from hype has always been a challenge for buyer’s agents and investors. A promised hospital or rail link may still be only a proposal, while the evidence is scattered across government registers, council applications and project pages. HtAG Analytics has launched a tool that cuts through the noise: HtAG Projects, a free national research map that lists over 8,000 named infrastructure projects across Australia.
The map is designed to shorten the time between hearing a claim and checking the published evidence. Instead of relying on vague promises, users can search by suburb, place or council, open individual projects and see the stated stage, cost, timing and source. The result is a faster, more transparent way to verify infrastructure claims and build client reports on solid ground.
What is HtAG Projects?
HtAG Projects is a free, no-login-required map that compiles named public and private infrastructure projects from the bodies that build them and the registers that record them. Sources include transport, school and health agencies, energy and water utilities, national and state infrastructure pipelines, Defence, major-project lists and council development applications. As of October 2026, the live counter shows 8,594 projects: 1,239 proposed, 3,663 active and 3,692 completed.

Each project pin opens to show the name, published stage, stated cost, timing and a link to the original source. Users can also view a written brief for an entire council area, which aggregates all projects in that region. The map is in beta and coverage varies between councils, but it provides a starting point that is far more reliable than relying on marketing claims alone.
What stands out
Three clear project stages
One of the most valuable features is the use of three published stages: proposed (announced or in planning), active (approved, awarded or under construction) and completed (delivered). This simple taxonomy stops an announcement from being described as if construction had already started. Users can immediately see whether a project is still a plan or actually under way.
Client-ready exports and citations
Buyer’s agents can export a council view as an A4 brief, CSV or PNG file, or copy a written briefing as text. Each project includes a source-ready citation that can be pasted directly into a client report. This makes it easy to provide an evidence trail that can be checked independently.
Council-level building approval trends
The map also colour-codes councils based on the latest 12 months of non-residential building approvals compared with that council’s own three-year average. A reading of 1.0 is in line with recent history; below 1.0 is quieter, above 1.0 is busier. This gives context without making price predictions.
Who it’s for
HtAG Projects is built primarily for buyer’s agents and property investors who need to verify infrastructure claims quickly. A buyer’s agent can use the map before making or defending a client recommendation, searching a suburb and separating proposed, active and completed work. Investors can test claims made in listings or conversations, asking whether a project is announced, approved or under construction before treating it as a fact.
The tool also serves developers and teams building research workflows. HtAG Analytics provides API and MCP access through its Developer Portal, allowing AI tools and custom applications to pull project data directly. This makes the map useful for property intelligence professionals who want to integrate infrastructure verification into their own systems.
Pricing and availability
HtAG Projects is completely free to use. There is no login required, no subscription fee and no hidden charges. Users can access the full map, search projects, view individual details and export briefs without paying anything. The free model makes it accessible to anyone who needs to verify infrastructure claims, from solo agents to large investment firms.
For those who need programmatic access, HtAG Analytics offers API and MCP tools through its Developer Portal at developer.htagai.com. Pricing for that tier is not disclosed on the public site, but the core map remains free for all users.
What makes it worth considering
The biggest strength of HtAG Projects is that it turns vague infrastructure promises into verifiable evidence. Instead of relying on a developer’s brochure or an agent’s offhand comment, a user can look up the named project, see its stage and read the original source. This transparency is invaluable for due diligence and for building trust with clients.
The map is also remarkably easy to use. There is no learning curve: just open the site, search for a location and start exploring. The step-by-step research guide helps new users get the most out of the tool, from finding a project to exporting a one-page brief. While coverage is uneven between councils and the map is still in beta, the data is sourced directly from official bodies, giving it a credibility that generic listings lack.
Verdict
HtAG Projects delivers exactly what property professionals need: a free, sourced, easy-to-use map that turns infrastructure claims into checkable facts. It empowers buyer’s agents and investors to make recommendations based on evidence, not promises. For anyone working in Australian property, this tool is a practical and trustworthy addition to the research toolkit.
