From 1 August 2025, important changes to property transactions will start in Queensland under the new Property Law Act 2023 (the Act). The new Act introduces a mandatory seller disclosure scheme (the scheme), which requires the seller to provide a variety of searches.

Please see Seller disclosure scheme information below.

Council offers a variety of searches to help inform your decision before buying a property or starting up a business. These searches will help you understand any issues relevant to the property.

Development.i site report can provide general planning details for a property. This includes the zoning and any overlays that may affect development or the use of the property.

Development.i provides development and building application information and decisions for properties in the region. This includes specific planning conditions applicable to the site.

For more specific details, you can request a search about different aspects of a property. These may be helpful to understand how planning constraints might affect a property, or what might be involved to bring a building up to standard.

Search types

  • Building, plumbing and development searches. Note: Information provided for building, plumbing and development is subject to availability of council’s records, refer to the type of search for details.
  • Rates and valuation searches
  • Business licensing and health
  • Health records
  • Licence/s on same premise
  • Invasive biosecurity matter
  • Property inspection declared pest plants
  • Drainage deficiency area survey
  • Flood information

For some searches, council may need access to a property to conduct an inspection. If so, council may need the phone number of the occupant or the agent holding the key to arrange access.

When requesting a search, you may also require an 'authority to enter'. You can check the requirements on the individual search request form.

You can request a search online using MyCouncil.

Other types of searches

Seller disclosure scheme

The scheme requires sellers to provide buyers with key information about a property before a contract of sale is signed. The buyer may be able to terminate the contract if the seller does not comply with the scheme. We recommend engaging with a solicitor to ensure compliance.

Further information about the scheme, including a downloadable guide, can be found on the Queensland Government website - Seller disclosure scheme. 

Council offers a variety of searches and tools that sellers can use to assist in compliance including: 

  • Development.i Site Report – Zoning details 
    Note: some properties may be subject to alternate zoning requirements such as those under the Economic Development Act 2012, or Land Within Development Control Plan 1, including:
    • Caloundra South Priority Development Area (Aura) and, 
    • Maroochydore City Centre Priority Development Area or,  
    • Kawana Waters (Kawana Master Plan).
