Each guide answers one question a buyer asks before an offer, from the government source that holds the answer, with the steps to do it yourself for free. Every figure is dated and traced to the page it was read from. Prova appears at the end of each, and only for the part the public sources don't do.
Section 10.7 planning certificates — what the council's certificate says, what it costs and how long it takes at three councils, and what it leaves out.
The land
Is this property flood prone? — the state flood planning layer, the council's own flood mapping, the SES portal and the 10.7 notation, and what each one's silence means.
Bushfire prone land — the RFS map, what a notation triggers when you build or renovate, and what it does not say about the house.
Land zoning — how to find the zone, read the council's land use table, and what R2 beside R3 or E1 means for the street.
What's around it
Development applications nearby — the Planning Portal and council trackers, how to search the block rather than the address, and why a neighbour's build can arrive with no DA at all.
Social housing near an address — what the public record can tell you about the housing mix around a street, and what it cannot.
