    2. Description of Service

    SuburbScan is a property intelligence platform that aggregates publicly available Australian government data to provide suburb and address-level insights including demographics, crime statistics, bushfire risk, coastal erosion, aircraft noise exposure, public transport access, school proximity, and other livability indicators. The Service is provided for general informational purposes only.

    3. No Professional Advice

    The information provided on SuburbScan does not constitute professional advice of any kind, including but not limited to financial, legal, real estate, insurance, or planning advice.

Always seek independent professional advice appropriate to your circumstances.

    • Data is sourced from third-party government databases and may contain errors, omissions, or delays.
    • Crime statistics, bushfire risk scores, coastal erosion rates, aircraft noise contours, transport access scores, school distances, and demographic data are historical or derived indicators and do not predict future events.
    • Risk scores are relative rankings and should be interpreted in context, not as absolute measures of safety.
    • Suburb boundaries, population figures, and other data may not reflect the most recent changes.
