Reactas · Active development · Tasmania, Australia

Turn scattered property evidence into decisions you can explain.

Reactas brings Tasmanian public data, climate records, and on-site corrections into one traceable property project. It helps permaculture designers and property professionals consider fire, water, terrain, and production together, while giving landholders a clear record of what to do next and why.

01 / Connected decisions

Property decisions are connected. Their evidence rarely is.

Public datasets can miss dams, tracks, buildings, and vegetation. Reactas keeps those sources alongside site observations and corrections, so incomplete records can be challenged rather than treated as ground truth. Evidence, assumptions, and design choices stay connected in one traceable property project.

02 / Evidence to design

From evidence to a planning artefact

01
Assemble context
Bring relevant public spatial and climate data together with observations from the site.
02
Analyse interactions
Examine fire, water, terrain, and production as connected constraints rather than isolated layers.
03
Design the response
Explore the system through maps, figures, and charts, then interactively design the property interventions.

03 / Current build

Built on a real Tasmanian property. Now becoming repeatable.

Reactas is being used on my own Tasmanian rural property and remains in active use there. It is now being shaped into a product others can use.

Its current tools supplied maps, analysis outputs, and structured data for a 40-page first-proof property resilience design package. The studio was used to get abstract ideas and text prose into visually engaging designs that are easy to consume by all stakeholders. This enabled design where no visual design skills previously existed.

04 / Founder grounding

Why I am building it

My background is systems engineering, not agronomy. I have spent more than 20 years building and operating complex digital systems across infrastructure, reliability, security, and assurance.

I also hold a Permaculture Design Certificate and have spent four years applying whole-property design on village-edge land in Tasmania. I am passionate about designing systems that don't just work well, but foster beauty and magic.

Reactas brings those practices together. It is decision support, not a claim to replace agronomic, ecological, or local expertise.

05 / Technical grounding

Under the surface

Python, GeoPandas, and Rasterio for geospatial processing; TypeScript, React, and MapLibre GL JS for interactive mapping; Pydantic for structured domain models.

Official Tasmanian spatial and climate datasets transform into a common property-scale model, which tests against observations and corrections from the site. Analysis looks for interactions across terrain, water, fire, climate, and production, keeping the evidence, assumptions, and uncertainty visible rather than collapsing them into a black-box answer.

Design work takes place in a rich, user-friendly UI, made for designers with no experience working with traditional CAD or landscape design tooling. Planning outputs can be exported as PDF, GeoJSON, and CSV.

06 / Conversation

Have a property-scale question?

If you are a permaculture designer, landholder, or potential collaborator, share the property-scale decision you are trying to make.
