Straight answers for Victorian buyers and advisers.

A buyer-side property screening report for Victorian addresses that can be matched to an official property record. We check official records across planning, hazards, environmental context, infrastructure, school zones, amenities, heritage, and area context, then present 49 current buyer-facing checks with plain-English results and source notes.

No. A Section 32 is a legal vendor disclosure under 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.

Nookera is Victoria-only right now so the property, planning, hazard, and source rules stay specific to one jurisdiction.

Report evidence is drawn from Victorian and Commonwealth open-government records covering property records, planning controls, hazards, environmental context, heritage and cultural sensitivity, transport, schools, amenities, and area context. Map imagery powered by Esri. Source: Esri, Vantor, Earthstar Geographics, and the GIS User Community. Basemap imagery is visual context, not the report's cited evidence. We do not resell or relabel paid or restricted datasets. Major findings name relevant source notes close to the claim.

If a source is unavailable or unclear, the report names the gap instead of marking it as "nothing found". A conveyancer or adviser can see which claims were confirmed and which need follow-up.

Some checks are queried at report time. Prepared datasets, such as Census-derived tables, update on the source schedule. The PDF keeps available source notes, freshness notes, and timestamps near the relevant sections.

We match your address to the official property record and measure checks from the selected property rather than guessing from a nearby lot.

About 96.5% of Victorian addresses shown in Nookera search can start online. About 3.5% are not currently available for online reports. Online availability depends on whether the selected Victorian property can be matched to the official property record used by the report. You can check whether the selected address can proceed online before payment.

Nookera prepares reports from official and open government records, then checks the address, source responses, maps, and PDF before download. If a source cannot confirm something, the report says so instead of calling it "nothing found".

The report uses official planning, environmental, heritage, area-context, and government source names when they matter. Section 32 is the vendor disclosure document for a Victorian property sale; Nookera is not a Section 32, title search, council certificate, or legal document.

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

Yes. A representative full-length sample PDF (66 pages, example Donvale property, with rendered sections and checked-but-not-detected summaries) is on the sample page - no signup or payment required. You can also check whether your selected property can proceed online before payment. Starter is A$19 first month, then A$59/month; single reports are A$39 if you only need one property.

For supported online properties, report preparation starts after payment is verified or after you use a monthly included report. Returning from checkout does not start a report by itself.

You can download the completed PDF from your account for 30 days after it becomes available.

Most reports are ready within a few minutes. Some properties or official source checks can take up to 24 hours. We email when the PDF is ready. Check Spam, Junk, Promotions, or Updates if you do not see it. Your account page also shows the latest report status and downloads.

Yes. Starter is A$19 first month, then A$59/month with 5 reports per month. Pro is A$99/month with 20 reports per month. Single reports are A$39 if you only need one property. Monthly reports do not roll over. Active Pro customers may choose a paid Pro report for the selected property without using monthly included reports. If a subscription payment issue is unresolved, new included report use may pause until the billing issue is resolved.

Yes, as a buyer-side evidence pack and question list. It is not advice, a valuation, legal opinion, planning opinion, building inspection, pest inspection, title search, or Section 32 replacement.

No. Nookera is an information tool. We aggregate and interpret 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.

Nookera can act as a buyer-side evidence pack alongside Section 32 review. It is not itself a substitute for a Section 32 or a title search.
