Property hazard data, Australia
In a hazard area. Checked and clear. And the one nobody prints: not mapped, meaning no authority has ever looked at this address. We tell you which of the three you are looking at, every time, for every hazard.
Built on the published registers of each state, under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. Every answer carries the register it came from and the date on it.
Before you pay anything
Coverage is uneven across Australia and we would rather you found that out now than after you paid. This checks your address against everything we hold and tells you which of our products can actually answer for it.

How an answer is shaped
Every hazard, at every address, resolves to one of three. Which one you get depends on whether a government register covers that land, and we check that separately from checking the hazard itself.
You get the register's own words, the control that applies, the council, and the date it was gazetted. Not our paraphrase of it.
Floodway Overlay, Wellington Shire, gazetted 23 January 2026.
A real finding, and it only counts when the register genuinely applies here. We verify that council by council before we will say it.
Victoria's flood overlays are carried by 79 councils, so an absence inside those councils means something.
Nobody has looked. That is not the same as safe, and folding it into "not affected" is the single most misleading thing a property report can do.
10 of about 128 NSW councils publish a flood planning map. The other 118 have no map at all.
Two ways to buy it
Same data, same rules about what may be claimed. The difference is the shape it arrives in.
For buyers and buyer's agents.
For insurers, developers and anyone putting this inside their own product.
Where we are up to
Coverage is uneven because the source data is uneven. We would rather show you the gaps than average them away.
| State | Hazards live | Records | What the gaps are |
|---|---|---|---|
| TAS | Bushfire, flood, coastal erosion, coastal inundation, landslip | 1,427,553 | Bushfire and landslip in all 28 council schedules. Flood in 21 of 28, so seven councils return unmapped for flood. |
| VIC | Flood, bushfire, landslide | 119,334 | Applied council by council, not statewide. The floodway overlay is carried by 38 of 79 councils, erosion by 32. |
| QLD | Flood | 118 | A 2012 broad scale screening layer that excludes most of south east Queensland. It can confirm a floodplain, never rule one out. |
| NSW | Planning and bushfire, in the report | 104,810 addresses | 12 councils so far. Flood planning maps exist for only 10 of about 128 NSW councils. |
| SA WA NT ACT | Not yet loaded | 0 | These return unmapped for every hazard. We will not guess on their behalf. |
Worth knowing before you buy
Some of this a competitor will happily sell you. We think you are better off knowing where the line is.
NSW sale prices are licensed for non commercial use only. Until that licence is signed we publish no sale price and no estimate built from one. Domain and realestate.com.au show recent sales for free, and we link you there.
Land value is the Valuer General's figure for unimproved land, with the house excluded. On one property we tested it was $935,000 against a $2.55m sale. Where we show it, we say exactly that.
It means the registers we hold do not place it in a mapped hazard area. Registers are incomplete, dates vary, and a boundary drawn at council scale is not a survey of your lot.
A section 10.7 certificate, building approvals, orders and notices come from the council and cost what the council charges. The report lists which ones apply to your address and what each costs.
