What your report tells you about a property.
We match the address to the mapped property, then summarise selected public records about the site and surrounding area. Check your address to see local coverage before paying.
The same five sections as the report. Open one to see each item, and open Details for the source, search area, date and limitation.
The block and planning rules
Planning zones and overlays across the site, heritage listings, mapped easement lines and, in Casey, planning applications nearby.5 items
Address matched to the propertyCheck
Included in the reportWe match the address to the block of land (the parcel) shown on government maps so planning and hazard records are checked against the right site.
Details
- Source
- Vicmap Address, Vicmap Parcel
- Where we look
- The address point and the block of land it sits in.
- How current
- Checked live when your report is made; the date is printed beside the result.
- Limitation
- A map match, not a title search or a survey.
Planning zone and overlaysCheck
Included in the reportEvery zone and overlay on the property site, saying when one covers only part of it, each in plain English with the question to ask.
Details
- Source
- Vicmap Planning
- Where we look
- The whole mapped site, not just the address point.
- How current
- Checked live when your report is made; the date is printed beside the result.
- Limitation

Details
- Source
- Heritage Victoria
- Where we look
- The whole mapped site.
- How current
- Checked live when your report is made; the date is printed beside the result.
- Limitation
- Mapped areas only. A listing means Heritage Victoria permits or consents may apply.

Details
- Source
- Vicmap Property
- Where we look
- The whole mapped site. Only easements drawn on the state map appear.
- How current
- Checked live when your report is made; the date is printed beside the result.

Details
- Source
- City of Casey register
- Where we look
- The address and the same street, City of Casey only.
- How current
- Casey’s register, downloaded weekly; the last five years.
- Limitation
- Casey publishes its register as open data. Other councils need permission or a commercial feed, so outside Casey the report does not include applications.

Flood-related planning controlsCheck

- Where we look
- The whole mapped site.
- How current
- Checked live when your report is made; the date is printed beside the result.
- Limitation
- Both are checked against the mapped site boundary, so a designation over part of the site is reported as such. If either map does not answer, the report is not released.
EPA and landfill records nearbyCheck
Included in the reportFive public registers checked within 500 m: the EPA’s priority sites, preliminary risk screen assessments, environmental audits and licensed premises, and the Victorian Landfill Register.
Details
- Source
- EPA Victoria
- Where we look
- Within 500 m of the property.
- How current
- Checked live when your report is made; the date is printed beside the result.
- Limitation

Coverage varies by address
Some costs and nearby records depend on the property’s location. Check your address free to see the estimates and local checks available before you pay. Planning applications are checked in the City of Casey today; we are adding other councils, and the report always says whether your council was checked. Council rates and water charges are shown where we have captured the council’s and water corporation’s 2026–27 figures; otherwise the report says so and points to the rates notice. A rates estimate also needs the capital improved value (the council’s valuation of the land and buildings, printed on the rates notice).
What the report is not
It does not inspect the building, review the title or value the property. It is a public-record research report, not advice on whether to buy.
