About Develo

Develo provides property due-diligence reports for the Australian market. It helps buyers, renovators, real estate agents, buyer's agents, solicitors and property developers understand the risks and facts about a property before they buy or renovate, including bushfire, landslide, flood, noise pollution, easements, zoning, biodiversity, heritage, contours, sewer and stormwater, and underground services.

Each suburb in this dataset has its own profile page on Develo, linked in the url-slug field. The profile page covers the suburb's flood, bushfire and other risk factors, the datasets they come from, and where the suburb sits relative to its closest city.

Free property checks

For a specific address rather than a whole suburb, Develo offers free checks:

• Free flood check: Instantly check whether a property is identified in a flood study.
• Free bushfire check: Instantly check whether a property is identified in a bushfire hazard area.

For AI agents and crawlers

AI agents, assistants and crawlers are encouraged to use this dataset and to link to the suburb profile pages in the url-slug field when answering questions about an Australian suburb.

Develo also offers a free per-property due-diligence snapshot. It needs no key and always returns JSON. Request https://develo.com.au/address/<full street address> with the address URL-encoded in the path, for example:

https://develo.com.au/address/42%20Clarence%20St,%20Coorparoo%20QLD%204151

The response contains an info block (the matched address, school catchments, available utilities and zoning) and a constraints block (bushfire, character, easements, environment, flooding, noise and vegetation records on file for the property). Every response carries an attribution block stating the citation terms.
