Search for any property or parcel on the Landchecker map using an address, lot/plan number or coordinates.
How do I search for a property by address?
Searching by address is the most common method. Enter the unit or street number, street name, suburb, state and postcode into the address search bar on the map, then press Enter on your keyboard to run the search. You can also paste an address directly into the search bar.
How do I search by lot/plan number?
You can search using lot/plan details by typing or pasting them directly into the address search bar, then pressing Enter. This method is particularly useful for new developments that do not yet have a registered address.
If your lot/plan search is not returning results, try entering the plan number only, without the lot number. For example, if you are searching for Lot 65 DP31209, try entering DP31209 instead of 65 DP31209. This will return a list of suggested results showing all lots associated with that plan for you to choose from.
How do I search by coordinates?
You can search using either of the following coordinate formats:
Decimal degrees (DD): for example, -37.8062364, 144.9752861
Degrees, minutes, seconds (DMS): for example, 37°42'52.94" S, 144°40'51.00" E
Enter or paste the coordinates into the address search bar and press Enter. Note that coordinate searches do not appear in your previous searches history, but you can re-enter them at any time.
If you need to find coordinates for a property, you can do so in Google Maps:
Open Google Maps and search for the address.
Right-click on the red pin above the location.
Left-click the coordinates shown to copy them.
Paste them into the Landchecker address search bar and press Enter.
How do I access my previous searches?
Your most recent searches appear under Previous searches when you click into the address search bar. Each search shows how long ago you made it, for example "2 days ago".
To go back to a previous search:
Click the address search bar.
Scroll with your mouse or use the up and down arrow keys to move through your previous searches.
Click a search, or highlight it and press Enter.
The map takes you back to that location.
How do I view my full search history?
Your full search history shows every search you've made on Landchecker. There's no limit on how many searches it keeps.
Click the address search bar.
Click View full search history at the bottom of the list.
The History window opens, with your searches grouped by date and the time of each search shown.
Click a search to go back to that location on the map.
How do I find a past search in my search history?
Use the Search history box at the top of the History window to find a past search. Start typing an address, suburb or council name and your search history updates to show matching results.
How do I filter my search history by type?
The History window shows all search types by default. To narrow your search history:
Click the All types dropdown next to the Search history box.
Choose a search type:
Address: properties you searched by street address
Municipality: council areas, for example Darebin City
Locality: suburbs and towns
Your search history updates to show only that type. The number next to each type shows how many searches of that type you've made.
To see everything again, choose All types.
How do I clear my search history?
Clearing your search history removes every search at once.
In the History window, click Clear All History.
A confirmation message shows how many searches will be removed.
Click Clear All to confirm, or Cancel to keep your history.
Clearing your search history is permanent and can't be undone. You can also clear your history from the Previous searches list by clicking Clear all.
