ICEYE enhances historical flood reporting with Landchecker

Melbourne, Australia – April 22, 2025 - To enhance its platform’s historical flood reporting, Landchecker has partnered with ICEYE, the world's leader in SAR satellite operations and Earth observation-based natural catastrophe solutions and insights.

Landchecker is a fast and accurate all-in-one property platform used by over 160,000 property professionals. The Platform's easy-to-use map interface empowers property professionals to have the most up-to-date view on land size, planning permits, Development Applications (DAs), Zoning and Overlays, and High-Resolution Aerial Imagery, helping generate fast insights and Due Diligence on any property in Australia. Founded in 2017, Landchecker is owned by RACV and PEXA.

ICEYE’s Flood Insights is the world’s first global and always-on data utility developed for the unique needs of the insurance sector. Empowered by the world's largest constellation of cloud-penetrating satellites, we enable our clients to accurately and quickly size damage, streamline the claims process, build new products like parametric offerings, and move into untapped markets.

A derivative of ICEYE’s historical Flood Insights data across Australia will be available to premium tier users of Landchecker’s platform within the on-map functionality and reports of individual property locations, which conclude whether or not a flood had occurred and the estimated depth of the flood.

For a small fee, standard users can upgrade to a Premium ICEYE Flood Report that unlocks ICEYE’s historical Flood Insights outlining the impact of flood events and the flood depth of the event on properties within Australia. Paired with existing detail within Landchecker, including land size, frontage, orientation, school information, recent planning scheme amendments, proposed planning scheme amendments, aerial imagery, comparable sales, planning permit history, nearby planning permits, elevation, and digitised easements.

Adam Gandolfo, CEO of Landchecker, said: “ICEYE’s data is a game-changer for the Landchecker Platform. Access to accurate actual flood event data empowers our premium members to make informed decisions for their clients or for individuals to mitigate risk and ensure the long-term value of their properties. We're committed to continue to provide our members with the best possible data, and this collaboration is a significant step forward.”

Paul Barron, ICEYE’s Head of Global Partnerships, stated:  “Landchecker’s premium customers have direct interests in historical flood information. Developers, architects, and planners need ready access to accurate data that will inform decisions efficiently. Landchecker’s platform and reports provide an efficient way to search for site potential and feasibility which are enhanced by ICEYE’s Flood Insights.”

Flooding is one of the biggest risks impacting Australian property today yet most due diligence still relies on static flood models.
