Before checkout

Confirm the right property before you pay.

Type an address. Nookera checks the official property boundary, confirms whether online delivery is available, and asks you to choose when the official record has more than one possible match.

Property first, evidence after payment
You only pay after we confirm the exact property from official records.
Boundary-aware distances
Everything "nearby" is measured from the mapped property boundary, not an address point.
Clear unavailable-data handling
If a source cannot be confirmed, the report says so instead of guessing.

Current product flow

`/start` confirms the property. Checkout happens on the customer-bound draft page.

By the numbers

One state. Handled carefully.

We don't stretch coverage across six states to look bigger. We go deep on Victoria, and depth is measurable.

Coverage

Victoria-first coverage. Eligibility checked per property.

When an address resolves to a confirmed Victorian property and the required official sources are available, the report keeps the evidence local and calls out coverage limits clearly.

Why Nookera

Most property reports are printouts. Ours is an argument.

Reports you can defend to a client, a lawyer, or a council officer. Four principles we don't compromise on.

01Principle 1

Decision-grade, not data-dump

Every section opens with a plain-English verdict for a buyer — not a raw feature list.

Many property outputs make the reader interpret layers themselves. We lead with the result, then keep the evidence chain underneath so a buyer or advisor can check it.

02Principle 2

Clear when data is unavailable

When a data source is temporarily unavailable or ambiguous, we say so. Explicitly.

An empty source response is not automatically "not identified". If we cannot confirm the answer, the report explains that the data needs follow-up.

03Principle 3

VIC-native depth

Built for Victorian planning, hazards, and infrastructure first. Not retrofitted.

Heritage overlays, EPA contamination records, Victorian flood and bushfire datasets, VPA precincts, VicPlan scheme amendments — all handled at state-specific depth. AU-wide tools average these away.

04Principle 4

Checks the whole property

Distances are measured from the confirmed property boundary, not only an address pin.

The current report flow matches the verified address to an official property boundary. If we cannot confirm the property confidently, the order needs support instead of guessing from an address point.

FAQ

Straight answers on data, scope, and trust.

If it matters to a conveyancer or a buyer's agent, we've probably been asked it. If we haven't, tell us.

Built for buyer-side and professional review workflows.

Is this a Section 32 / Vendor's Statement?

No. A Section 32 is a legal vendor disclosure required by the Sale of Land Act 1962 (VIC) — only the vendor's lawyer or conveyancer can produce it. Nookera is a buyer-side screening tool that helps you see what to investigate before you rely on a purchase decision. Use them together.

Where does your data come from?

Open Victorian and Commonwealth government data: Vicmap (Victoria's official mapping family), VicPlan, EPA Victoria, Melbourne Water, Victorian Planning Authority, ABS Census, SEIFA area indexes, and DataVic open data. We do not sell or resell paid/restricted datasets. Report sections include source notes and timestamps where the source supports it.

What do the planning and source acronyms mean?

Section 32 means the vendor disclosure document for a Victorian sale. VPA means Victorian Planning Authority. EPA means Environment Protection Authority Victoria. SEIFA means ABS Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas. BMO means Bushfire Management Overlay. The report uses these source names, but it is not a legal, council, or title document.

How do you choose the property boundary?

Current reports match the verified address to an official property boundary. If we cannot confirm the property confidently, the order needs support instead of guessing from a nearby lot or address point.

What happens when a data source is unavailable?

The report says the source could not be confirmed and explains what needs follow-up. We will not return a "not identified" result when we cannot actually confirm the answer.

How long does a report take?

A full Nookera PDF usually takes a few minutes after verified checkout; allow up to 24 hours when official sources are slow or the order needs support. It includes 49 current buyer-facing checks and is generated for one selected property.

Why can 49 checks appear as fewer PDF sections?

49 checks are grouped into roughly 21 customer-visible sections, plus a checked-but-not-detected summary where applicable. This keeps the PDF readable while still showing detected evidence, not-identified summaries, and source notes where applicable.

Do you support NSW or Queensland?

Nookera is VIC-only in the current launch. Interstate coverage is not part of the current launch path.

Can I buy multiple reports or a subscription?

You can buy multiple reports. Your first report is A$4.88, later single reports are A$19.88, and 5 prepaid reports cost A$39.88. The prepaid reports are added to your account; PDFs are generated only after you choose properties. Subscriptions are not enabled in the current launch.

Is this legal or financial advice?

No. Nookera aggregates and interprets open government data to help you make an informed decision. It does not replace legal advice from a solicitor or conveyancer, nor a formal property valuation.
