You wouldn't buy a house without a building and pest inspection. MapCheck checks 140+ NSW Government datasets against one property and explains them in plain English.
Why it matters
Two things a contract of sale will not tell you.
88%
Across the 630,637 lots in rural zones regulated under the Local Land Services Act, 88 per cent carry at least some Category 2 regulated native vegetation, and 67 per cent carry it across at least a tenth of the parcel. Close to 9 in 10 on any reading, and two in three on a strict one.
MapCheck analysis of the NSW Native Vegetation Regulatory Map (Transitional), March 2026.
$8.77M
That same holding has a land value of $3.28M and sits entirely under vegetation regulation. Constraint and opportunity are the same mapping, read two ways.
From a MapCheck report on a holding in Snowy Monaro Regional; land value at 1 July 2025. One property, not a market average.
Water
Every rural block has lines on a map that look like watercourses. Stream order ranks them one through six by how much country drains into them. Your report maps them over your boundary, alongside the dams already there.
How it works
Address or lot on plan. The preview is free and needs no account. Every flag is drawn over your actual boundary, not described in a paragraph.
The same data, three questions
Rural property buyers. A first-pass read before the building inspection and before the solicitor's bill starts running.
