Environmental due diligence brings together information from multiple sources to help consultants understand a site and its surrounds.
The challenge is not simply accessing that information. It’s working through it efficiently.
Environmental records, natural hazards, historical imagery and other site information can span multiple sections of a Due Diligence Report (DDR). Reviewing how those records relate spatially can mean moving back and forth through different pages, maps and datasets.
That’s where an interactive approach can make a difference.

Our new whitepaper explores how environmental due diligence is changing in Australia, the growing importance of spatial and historical environmental data, and the thinking behind bringing ATLAS to the Australian market.

Moving beyond the static view
A traditional DDR provides a comprehensive record of the environmental information associated with a property and its surrounding area.
ATLAS provides another way to work with that same information.
Instead of relying only on a static report, ATLAS brings Land Insight DDR data into an interactive, browser-based map where consultants can explore environmental information spatially. ATLAS Whitepaper
The result is not a replacement for the DDR. It’s a more flexible way to navigate and investigate the information it contains.
One site. Multiple layers. One interactive map.
ATLAS centres the assessment around the subject property and allows users to control the information displayed on the map.
Environmental database records can be viewed spatially around the site, while filters allow records to be narrowed by criteria including data source, distance and elevation. ATLAS Whitepaper
Individual data layers can also be switched on and off, allowing users to change the map view as they work through different parts of their investigation. ATLAS Whitepaper
This makes it easier to move between different datasets while maintaining the spatial context of the site.
Bringing historical context into the same view
Understanding what is there today is only part of environmental due diligence.
Historical land use can provide important context when investigating a property, particularly where previous activities are no longer reflected in current records.
ATLAS incorporates historical references alongside current environmental information, including historical aerial imagery and mapping. Users can compare historical information with the current site to investigate how the property and surrounding land have changed over time. ATLAS Whitepaper
Rather than moving between separate historical and current views, this information can be explored within the same spatial environment.
Australian data, powered by Envirosite
Land Insight is now powered by Envirosite, bringing together Land Insight’s Australian environmental data and expertise with Envirosite’s established environmental technology.
Following Land Insight joining Envirosite in 2025, Australian property data was integrated into ATLAS, bringing its interactive mapping capabilities to the Australian market. ATLAS Whitepaper
The Australian data foundation includes coverage across commercial, industrial and residential properties, combined with Envirosite’s broader archive of more than 2,300 verified environmental and historical sources. ATLAS Whitepaper
A different way to work with your DDR
ATLAS doesn’t change the purpose of environmental due diligence. It changes how consultants can interact with the information.
The DDR remains the comprehensive report.
ATLAS provides a visual, interactive way to work through that data, allowing users to navigate the site, control displayed layers, investigate individual records and explore historical context from a single browser-based map.
For environmental consultants, that means less time moving back and forth through report pages and more time assessing the information relevant to the site.
