Sample only - this illustrates the kind of due-diligence summary a buyer would receive after dropping a pin. It is not a report for a specific property. It is computed at the centre of Brunswick East (Moreland); in the app you drop the pin on the exact address and the “nearby” section is measured from that point.
A sourced, plain-English screening report for this location.
Brunswick East: 4 things to check before you offer
Everyday amenities look well-covered nearby. The surrounding area scores well on liveability.
Check the Environmental Audit Overlay (EAO) on this property
Check the property's planning certificate (Section 32) and VicPlan for the exact overlays on THIS parcel before you offer.
Check bushfire and flood overlays here
Check the planning certificate (Section 32), the council's hazard maps and get an insurance quote before buying.
Review local safety context
Walk the immediate street at different times and check recent local reports.
Positive signal: Strong public transport proximity
Check bushfire and flood overlays here
About 8% under a flood planning overlay. Confirm whether this exact parcel is inside an overlay before you offer.
Why it matters: Overlays drive building controls, insurance cost and what you can do with the land.
Verify: Check the planning certificate (Section 32), the council's hazard maps and get an insurance quote before buying.
Area-level overlay share (SA2); confirm the exact parcel before relying on this finding.
Part of this area is under a Heritage Overlay
About 20% of this area sits inside a Heritage Overlay. Whether THIS property is affected needs a check of its planning certificate.
Why it matters: A Heritage Overlay can restrict demolition, external changes and subdivision - it shapes what you can do with the property.
Verify: Check the property's planning certificate / VicPlan for a Heritage Overlay before you offer.
Area share, not a parcel-level result - a property can be affected even where the area share is low, and vice versa.
Check the Environmental Audit Overlay (EAO) on this property
Part of this area is within 4 planning overlays (Environmental Audit Overlay ~9%, Environmental Significance Overlay ~14%, Significant Landscape Overlay ~14%, Erosion Management Overlay ~3%). The land may be contaminated (often former industrial use). An environmental audit can be required before a sensitive use such as housing or childcare.
Why it matters: Planning overlays control what you can build, remove or change - and a Public Acquisition Overlay can mean the land is reserved for a public work. They affect the cost, feasibility and even the ownership of your plans.
Verify: Check the property's planning certificate (Section 32) and VicPlan for the exact overlays on THIS parcel before you offer.
Area share for the wider SA2, not a parcel-level result - your specific property may or may not be affected.
Review local safety context
About average for safety in this metro area, measured at suburb or council-area level - not the specific street.
Verify: Walk the immediate street at different times and check recent local reports.
Recorded offences reflect reporting and policing, not true crime levels; percentiles rank areas and do not predict a specific street.
Good access to daily amenities
Most everyday errands are within reach near this point - 8 of 8 amenity types like shops, transport and services.
Why it matters: Day-to-day convenience reduces car dependence and time spent driving for errands.
Nearby amenities are estimated using straight-line distance from the dropped pin. This is a quick screening tool, not a street-network routing calculation.
Good access to parks / open space
Green space on the doorstep - 25 park or open-space areas within reach near this point.
Nearby amenities are estimated using straight-line distance from the dropped pin. This is a quick screening tool, not a street-network routing calculation. Where OpenStreetMap splits one park into several points, nearby duplicates are merged so the count reflects distinct parks.
Strong area-level liveability score
The surrounding area scores 78/100 on the current liveability model.
This is an area-level score and may not reflect the exact street or property.
Strong public transport proximity
Better public transport access than 85% of this metro area for this wider area.
Area-level; confirm the actual stops, lines and peak-hour commute for this address.
Good access to health services
Better health access than 86% of this metro area for this wider area.
Best light comes from the north. Living areas, windows or a yard facing north get the warmest, most reliable sun - and winter sun sits low, so tall buildings or trees on that side can overshadow it. South-facing rooms get little direct sun. We can't see your specific building, so check which way the main rooms face when you visit (same path for the whole street).

Percentile ranks within this metro area.

Health-access remoteness context
Modified Monash Model 1 for this SA2, rolled up from SA1 areas. This is context only and is not included in the health score.
Why it matters: MMM is used nationally to describe relative remoteness for health workforce and access programs; metro areas usually sit at the low-remoteness end.
Metropolitan areas (MM1); SA1 modal 26/26
Strong growth projected for this area
Expect more homes and busier streets here - roughly a quarter more dwellings projected by 2036.
Why it matters: Where dwellings are projected to grow fast, expect more development, density and streetscape change over the years you would own here.
Verify: Check the council planning scheme and any activity-centre / housing-target plans for what can be built nearby.
A modelled PROJECTION at SA2 level (Victoria in Future 2023), not a forecast or target; only 5-yearly years (2021/2026/2031/2036) are published.
A few new dwellings approved nearby
About 28 new dwellings were approved across this area in the 12 months to Mar 2026 - almost all townhouses or apartments, down on the year before.
Why it matters: Approvals are a leading sign of construction: more building work, new supply and streetscape change ahead. They come before - and do not guarantee - completed homes.
Verify: Check the council planning register and VicPlan for current applications and any major projects near the address.
ABS building approvals counted at SA2 (whole-area) level, not your street; an approval is a leading indicator, not a completed home, and the most recent month or two may be revised.
Rents sit easier on renters here
About 24% of renters here spend more than 30% of their income on rent - below the Melbourne norm.
Why it matters: Rent stress describes how much of local renters' income goes on rent, not what it costs to buy here. It is a read on the local rental market, not the price or value of this property.
This is an area-level share of renting households from the 2021 Census and reflects renters, not owner-occupiers; it does not describe any specific dwelling.
Data completeness for this area
Our pipeline rates this area 95/100 for data completeness. This describes how well-measured the area is, not how good it is to live in.
Check data coverage for this area
Coverage cautions: 2 stale scored inputs. A high score-confidence number can still miss newly opened services, estate stages or sparse POI mapping.
Verify: For fringe, developing or far-from-CBD areas, cross-check current shops, schools, stops, flood/fire history and new estates with council maps, inspection and local sources.
This is a disclosure note only and does not change the score. Missing POIs or missing historical hazard layers are not proof that the feature or risk is absent.
Some checks are pin-exact (amenities, hazards); others describe the surrounding area (liveability, crime). Full method on the methodology page.
