The agent for Australia’s open data

Australian governments and regulators publish unusually good data — addresses, parcels, hazards, emissions, registers — and then scatter it across dozens of portals with nothing to join it on. Zenancy harmonises those portals into one lake and puts an agent with a sandbox over it. Every number traces back to a public dataset and a documented method.

Agent prompt

Resolve these 240 addresses to parcels, then tell me which sit in a flood planning area, on bushfire-prone land, or within 100 m of a receding coastline.

How it works

Harmonise the portals, then ask across them

Four steps, all of them inspectable. The agent writes the query, runs it in a sandbox against the lake, and shows its working.

  1. Ingest and harmonise

    Pipelines pull each open dataset from its portal, normalise the schema, record the vintage and licence, and land it as parquet in one lake.

  2. Resolve onto a spine

    Everything hangs off shared keys rather than fuzzy strings — parcel, G-NAF address, coordinate, H3 cell — which is what makes the joins hold.

  3. Ask in plain English

    The agent plans the analysis, writes the SQL and Python, runs it in a sandbox with the lake mounted, checks the result and corrects itself.

  4. Get the working, not just the answer

    Output names every dataset, vintage and assumption, and reports unassessed records as unassessed rather than substituting an average.

Spines

Two spines, many verticals on top

A spine is a set of keys enough datasets already carry that everything else can be hung off it. Get the spines right and you can answer joins across portals that no single incumbent can answer.

Live

Land

Cadastral parcel, G-NAF address, coordinate and H3 cell. Hazard layers, climate projections, land use, soil and water sit on top of it, joined at the parcel rather than at a rooftop pin.

Datasets on the land spine
Coming

Entity

ABN, ACN and directorship records, with the registers, licences, contracts and filings that reference them. It is the second spine because most of the remaining interesting joins are between an entity and a place.

Use cases

One platform, a vertical at a time

Each vertical is the same lake and the same agent with a different expertise pack on top. Climate disclosure is the first one shipped because the deadline is legislated and the data is already public.

First case study · shipped

AASB S2 climate disclosure

Mandatory climate reporting gave several thousand Australian entities a physical risk question they cannot answer from any one portal: flood studies sit with councils and state agencies, bushfire-prone land with another, climate projections with a third, and none of them share a key with a lease schedule. On the land spine it is a single run.

Group 2 entities report from FY2026-27. The output is an AASB S2-shaped table with a methodology appendix naming every dataset, vintage and assumption — the part an auditor asks about.

Agent prompt

Score our 240 sites against flood, bushfire, coastal retreat and SSP2/SSP5 heat-days, then output the AASB S2 disclosure table with a methodology appendix.

Agriculture, water and carbon

Soil carbon feasibility, ACCU method screening, water entitlement checks and pre-purchase due diligence on rural land — land use, soil, rainfall and registers joined at the parcel.

Procurement and the entity graph

Government contract notices joined to ABN, ACN and directorship records, so a supplier, its related entities and its award history read as one thing.

Coming

Markets and infrastructure

Energy market data against network and generator registers, joined back to the land spine at the parcel.

Coming

Renewables siting

Renewable energy zones, transmission, land use and constraint layers screened together before a site visit is booked.
