The job
Searches and certificates remain the formal record. Before they come back, a quick look at the public planning record often tells you what to ask: is there an open application on the lot, has a building approval been finalised, does a flood or bushfire overlay touch the land?
The Site Report answers those from the address. The DA history comes from the council's own system in supported councils, with status and decision dates. Hazard overlays show whether they touch the lot and how much of it they cover. Each section says where its data came from and when it was fetched.
Between exchange and settlement, a plan lets you bookmark the property and notifies you when a new application is lodged on it.
In the Site Report for the file

Every section prints where its data came from and when, ready to put on the file.
