When purchasing a property it is important that a search is carried out on adjoining properties as a Vendor is not require to disclose any information to any potential Purchaser regarding existing or proposed neighbourhood developments.
Any land and/or building development may impact on the value and use and enjoyment of a property in a variety of ways:
- Loss of view
- Traffic congestion
- Increase in noise level
- Loss of privacy
- Loss of available street parking
- Loss of sunlight
The Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 makes provision for a wide range of information to be publicly available, including information about Development Applications and associated documents received in relation to a proposed development.
The Hills Shire Council provides this information online which allows you to search a particular property, track the progress of an application, browse planning instruments and identify what development may be permissible on a property.
You can search a property by an Address by entering the house number and street name.
