24 checks ran against official registers. How to read the flags: the three colours are a prioritised checklist, not a rating. Red means check this point first: an official register has an entry here, and the next step is to confirm what it means with the authority that keeps that register, or through your conveyancer. A red flag describes a register entry, not the property itself; entries can be broad, provisional or apply to only part of a property, and only the source can confirm how one applies to you. Yellow means worth reviewing in its section below. Green means the register we checked returned no entry for this location, which is evidence, not a guarantee.
The colours set your reading order; they do not judge the property. Flags are a count of findings to review, never a score and never a verdict; this report makes no recommendation for or against any decision, and what you do with a finding always stays with you and your advisers. If a source does not respond it is shown as unavailable, never as green.
Think a finding is wrong? Email hello@propertyflags.com.au with the address and the finding. We re-run the checks against the official sources, and if this report does not match what the sources say we issue a corrected report at no charge.
Every row has a detailed section below with the evidence, what to do about it, and the official source. Major and minor checks count equally here.
An AI reads every section below and writes this summary for you, in plain English, in the order that actually matters for your decision. It is written only from the sourced sections in this report and is instructed to add nothing new. Read it together with those sections; if the summary and a sourced section ever differ, the sourced section is the record.
Aircraft noise is estimated from runway alignment (5.2 km from Sydney Airport (SYD)). No official ANEF contour is mapped here. Verify real overflights on Airservices WebTrak before committing.
An easement means someone else (usually the water utility, the council, or a neighbour) has a permanent legal right to use or access a strip of this land for a specific purpose, even though you'd own the whole block. Most commonly it's a buried drainage or sewer pipe running through the yard. You can't build over that strip, and it can rule out a pool, an extension or a granny flat in that spot.
Proposals appear here only once they're mapped for public exhibition. Earlier-stage rezonings and site-specific DAs won't show. The development section below covers applications under the current rules.
MU1 · Mixed Use. Mixed Use: residential, retail and commercial can all be built here. Expect an evolving, denser neighbourhood: today's low building next door can legally become tomorrow's tower. Shops and cafes nearby also mean activity and some noise.
Height control on this lot: 91.6 m(RL) (RL, reduced level: height above sea level, not above the ground) (map band 80 - 100 m). The same limit applies here and, in most cases, on the neighbouring lots in this height band. Floor space ratio: 1.5:1 (1.5-1.99 band).
Dwellings on this lot. The controls allow up to 1 more self-contained dwelling on this lot (a granny flat), subject to approval.
This point sits outside nbn's mapped technology footprint. In apartment towers that usually means the building is served by a non-NBN fibre network (OptiComm, TPG FTTB and similar are common in newer buildings), which limits your choice of internet providers to the ones on that network. Ask the real estate agent or building manager which network serves the building, and check the exact address at nbn.com.au.
These are transmitter sites from the national licence register, a proximity signal, not a coverage map: terrain, building materials and indoor position all change real signal. "5G mid-band" means a 3.5 GHz (5G-only spectrum) transmitter is licensed at that site, the band behind 5G's speed claims; its reach is shorter than 4G bands, so distance matters more. The only test that counts is your own phone at the inspection, in the rooms you'll actually use.
Estimated street frontage of this lot: NNE (north-north-east) (toward DUNKERLEY PL) · street frontage ~32 m wide · lot area ~1,352 m² (matches the registered plan area of 1,351 m²). Frontage direction and width are estimates from cadastral geometry.
Rear of the lot faces SSW (south-south-west). A south-facing rear: the back garden sits in winter shade; winter sun favours the street side, so check which way the living areas face. Estimated from the frontage bearing.
North-facing living areas get all-day winter sun; south-facing ones get none. With the winter sun this low, buildings to the north cast shadows ~1.56× their height.
~8% of this pocket is under tree cover (2022 Greater Sydney mesh-block data, vs 3% in 2019). Sparse cover: expect a hotter, harder streetscape in summer.
This pocket ran ~8°C hotter than a vegetated baseline in satellite surface-temperature mapping (2016, dated but structural patterns persist). A warm urban pocket, typical of harder, less vegetated streetscapes.
The ground falls an estimated 2 m across this lot (~4% grade, from mapped contour lines). A gentle fall, unlikely to matter beyond drainage basics.
Land on your northern side can carry a building up to 21.6 m. Built to that limit at the boundary, its mid-winter noon shadow reaches ~34 m south, up to 64% of this lot's 53 m north–south depth. Worst-case estimate from mapped height controls and cadastral geometry.
The walk home climbs ~12 m: noticeable with shopping bags or a pram; the station is downhill from home. Estimated from mapped contour lines (±2 m). Straight-line 751 m. Walking distance is more like ~980 m (estimated with a typical ×1.3 street-network factor, not a routed path).
These are shortcuts: each number is pulled from a full section further down, where you'll find the detail behind it, the source, and the fine print.
A renter-heavy, young-professional area feels very different day-to-day from an owner-occupied family one.
Under the NSW Department of Education's current intake policy, living in a school's catchment entitles your child to enrol at these 3 public schools. Catchment boundaries can change: confirm the current zone with the school before you rely on it.
The entitlement above reflects NSW Department of Education intake zones (updated nightly), current at report time. Other schools remain open subject to capacity.
⚠ Catchment boundaries are street-level: an address a few doors away can fall outside these zones, and a school you can see from the driveway is not necessarily in zone. If a particular school is part of why you want this home, confirm this exact address with the school before you commit.

St Vincent'S Hospital [Darlinghurst] · ~2.8 km away in a straight line. This is the nearest PUBLIC hospital reporting emergency-department activity to the AIHW. Private hospitals and hospitals without an ED are deliberately excluded from this metric, so it may be further than the closest hospital of any kind.
Where this area is heading: on the public record, this pocket is set for strong growth: the state projects +47.8% residents in the surrounding area by 2041, with 4 state-funded projects (~$147m combined) within 2 km. Growth cuts both ways: more services, transport and buyers over time, and also construction years, denser streets and changing skylines. What it means for this property depends on your plans.
The ABS area covering this address (Waterloo) is projected to go from 16,615 residents (2021) to 24,564 by 2041 (20,708 by 2031). That trajectory shapes everything else on this card: what gets funded tends to follow where people are added.
Determined applications in this pocket took a median ~93 days from lodgement to decision (34 determined applications within 500 m, all types pooled: a big residential project and a pergola count the same here, and the sample is small), a rough local gauge if you're planning works of your own, not a forecast for any particular application type.
This list mixes every stage: some applications are approved and already built or under construction, some are still being assessed, some were refused or withdrawn. Read each pill, not just the address: an approved multi-dwelling project nearby means construction for 1-2 years then changed traffic and skyline; one still in progress can still be objected to.
