12 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 doesn't add facts, it only explains the ones already sourced below.
The acid sulfate trigger area is coarse mapping keyed to low-lying elevation bands. Much of South East Queensland falls in it. It flags that excavation below certain depths triggers further assessment; it does not say this soil is acidic.
Most of South East Queensland is in a fire ant zone, and it carries real, legal obligations: moving soil, mulch, potted plants, turf or machinery with soil on it is restricted, and suspected nests must be reported. A Queensland-specific check: no equivalent exists in NSW or Victoria reports.
Koala layers don't rule the address out for living or buying, but they add real approval steps if you plan to clear vegetation, extend the footprint or subdivide: a koala habitat assessment (and sometimes an offset) can be required first. Core habitat carries the strictest test.
That is a record of where floodwater reached in the 1974 Brisbane–Ipswich flood and the 2010–11 event specifically: recorded events, not modelled risk, and not a guarantee against a different or larger flood.
Further council metric codes recorded against this parcel: EST_STR_FL = 22.6 (codes we don't translate rather than guess at; the FloodWise report below decodes them).
No flood-likelihood or flood-level metrics are recorded against this parcel in the council table: the entries present are ground-level survey values only.
Any-source flood awareness extent (June 2013 mapping): this point is outside the mapped extent. That mapping predates the February 2022 flood. Treat the per-parcel metrics above as the primary story, and pull the council's free FloodWise Property Report (fam.brisbane.qld.gov.au) before you rely on any of it.
Current tenures only: historic workings (relevant in Gympie, Ipswich and similar towns) are a separate question this report doesn't yet cover.
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. The cadastre doesn't say what each easement is for: that detail lives in the registered easement document on the title. Ask your conveyancer to pull a title search before you commit, especially if you're planning any building work.
CR · Character residential (Infill housing). This zoning comes from the Brisbane City Plan 2014, the planning scheme made by Brisbane City Council. Every Queensland council writes its own scheme, so the zone names and numbers here do not carry across council boundaries. Zoning sets what needs approval next door as much as on this lot: a low-medium density zone, for example, means townhouses or small apartment blocks can replace neighbouring houses without anything unusual happening.
Two honesty notes. First, these are Brisbane City Plan 2014 rules: a council planning scheme, not state law; every other Queensland council sets different numbers, so nothing here transfers outside Brisbane. Second, the figures are the code's "acceptable outcome" fast-lane numbers: missing one doesn't forbid a proposal, it pushes it into performance or impact assessment where council judgement (and neighbours) come in.
Hybrid Fibre Coaxial: the old pay-TV cable network; high speed tiers available, occasional congestion history in some areas.
Snapshot vintage: this comes from the Australian Government's official July 2020 technology map (this area ready for service 17/05/2019). nbn's fibre-upgrade program has since moved many FTTN/FTTC addresses to full fibre. Treat it as the baseline and check today's status for this exact address at nbn.com.au (free, takes a minute).
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.
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 ~1.2× their height.
Local terrain, buildings and trees will shade parts of this lot earlier or later than the geometry shows: the arcs are the sky, not the streetscape. Check the actual light at the inspection, in the rooms and garden spots you'd use most.
Straight-line 731 m. Walking distance is more like ~950 m (estimated with a typical ×1.3 street-network factor, not a routed path). 2 stations within 1.5 km in total.
17 recorded crashes within 300 m · 7 hospitalisation · 6 medical treatment · 4 minor injury
These are recorded crashes on the state's road-crash database, not a live feed or a risk model: a cluster nearby usually means a busy intersection or arterial, not that this specific property is unsafe. Property-damage-only crashes are deliberately excluded here: that category's reporting basis changed years ago and the layer is no longer current enough to show honestly.
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.
Unlike a "nearest school" list, these are the official Department of Education catchment polygons: the state schools this address is zoned to. Non-government and out-of-catchment enrolment is a separate, capacity-dependent question.
NQS (National Quality Standard) ratings from the ACECQA (Australian Children's Education & Care Quality Authority) national register: Exceeding is above the standard, Meeting is at it, Working Towards is below.
Queensland Children's Hospital · ~4.4 km away in a straight line: the nearest PUBLIC hospital reporting emergency-department activity to the AIHW; private hospitals and hospitals without an ED are deliberately excluded, so it may be further than the closest hospital of any kind.
Where this area is heading: on the public record, this area is set for strong growth: the state projects +49% residents in the Toowong area by 2046 (from 12,725 in 2021 to 18,918, passing 17,768 by 2041). That is an ABS statistical-area projection (QGSO 2023), not this street. Growth cuts both ways: more services and transport over time, and also construction years and denser streets.
Sections we ship for NSW that we can't yet do honestly in this council area, listed rather than quietly dropped: development application tracking (the council's portal has no open data feed), licensed venues / nightlife noise, building defect orders, and the loose-fill asbestos register (a NSW/ACT-only concept). EMR/CLR contaminated-land status is covered in section 1.3 (paid search only).

Signing the contract is the moment a private-treaty sale becomes binding, subject to Queensland's five-business-day cooling-off period. There is no cooling-off at all if you buy at auction, so do as much of this as you can before then. Generated from this report's findings. This is a preparation list, not legal or financial advice: the professionals it points to are the ones who advise.
