Market Insights
Property Information
Basic property attributes such as number of bedrooms, bathrooms and car spaces. It also includes the sale and rental history of the property for up to three previous events.
Available: State-wide
Price and Rental Estimate
A sale price estimate is provided in the Homesnoop property report, including confidence level. When combined with the comparable properties information, this helps to understand the potential value of the property. Similarly, a rental estimate is also provided.
Available: State-wide
Comparable Properties
The Homesnoop property report includes nearby properties that are for sale, for rent, or recently sold. This helps understand the potential price estimate of the target property, and also potential rental estimate if purchasing as an investment.

Planning and Development
Zoning
The zoning page shows the local council’s defined zone for the property and the surrounding area. This helps you understand the potential development opportunities for the property. The zoning of nearby land should also be considered, as it provides insight into the neighbourhood’s character and what types of future developments may be permitted around you.
Available: State-wide
Heritage Protections
Heritage protections apply to properties or places with historical, cultural, or architectural significance. These controls can limit alterations, demolition, or development, ensuring the character and heritage value of the property or surrounding area is preserved.
Available: State-wide
Character Protections
Character protections apply to areas or properties identified as having distinctive architectural or streetscape value. These controls restrict demolition and guide new development to maintain the established look and feel of the neighbourhood.
Available: State-wide
Design Control Overlays
Development overlays apply extra design requirements in certain areas to achieve specific planning objectives. For example, an Affordable Housing Overlay may require a set proportion of dwellings to be provided as affordable housing. Each overlay has different aims, which are outlined in the planning scheme.

Environment
Flood Risk
Flood risk mapping identifies land that may be affected during heavy rainfall or river overflow. These areas can face restrictions on development, higher building costs, and potential insurance implications.
Available: State-wide
Coastal Hazards
Coastal hazards include erosion, storm tide surge, and inundation from rising sea levels. Properties in affected areas may face stricter building controls, higher construction costs, and long-term risks to land use and value.
Available: State-wide
Bushfire Risk
Bushfire risk mapping identifies land that is more likely to be impacted by bushfires due to vegetation, topography, or climate conditions. Development in these areas may require specific building materials, design measures, and ongoing management to reduce fire danger.
Available: State-wide
Historic Bushfire Map
Historic bushfire maps are provided for the entire state. Combined with the bushfire risk map, this helps further understand the bushfire risk of a property and the surrounding area.
Available: State-wide
Protected Vegetation
Protected vegetation provisions restrict the removal or management of certain trees and plants, usually requiring a permit for pruning or works. Protection covers the whole plant, including trunk, canopy, roots, and foliage, and may apply even where branches or roots extend across property boundaries.
Available: State-wide
Utilities Infrastructure
Electricity Infrastructure
Electricity infrastructure includes assets such as power poles, lines, substations, and transformers. While usually located outside property boundaries, some properties may contain infrastructure like poles onsite, which can affect use of the land and may require coordination with the electricity provider.
Available: State-wide
Sewer Infrastructure
Sewer infrastructure includes pipes, pumps, valves, and manholes that service the city’s sewer network. While usually located outside property boundaries, some properties may contain manholes or buried pipes onsite, which can affect building and landscaping options.
Available: State-wide
Water Infrastructure
Water infrastructure includes pipes, pumps, valves, and connection lines that deliver the city’s water supply. Most properties only have a supply connection at the boundary, but in some cases additional infrastructure may be located onsite and can affect how the land is used.
Available: State-wide
Roads and Rail
Road Noise
Transport noise corridors identify land affected by significant road or rail traffic noise. Categories reflect the volume and type of transport in the area, and properties within these overlays may face development restrictions to help manage noise impacts.
Available: State-wide
Rail Network
Living near a railway provides convenient access to public transport and can reduce reliance on cars. However, proximity to the tracks may also bring higher levels of noise and vibration, which vary depending on distance, train frequency, speed, and surrounding conditions.
Available: State-wide
Lifestyle and Community
Dwelling Density
Dwelling density measures the number of homes in an area, influencing lifestyle, infrastructure, and development potential. Higher-density areas offer better access to services and transport but may have more congestion, while lower-density areas provide more space and quiet with fewer nearby amenities.
Available: State-wide
Public Housing
Public housing provides affordable accommodation managed by government or community organisations. Areas with a high proportion of public housing may experience slower market turnover, while the sale of former public housing can trigger renewed private investment and neighbourhood change.
Available: State-wide
School Catchments
A school catchment area defines the zone from which a state school draws its core intake of students. Living within the catchment guarantees enrolment at the local school, while applications outside the area are subject to availability and may be placed on a waiting list.
Available: State-wide
Bicycle Network
The bicycle network includes dedicated paths, on-road bike lanes, and recreational trails maintained by council. Proximity to these routes supports active transport options and recreational cycling.
