Properties with multiple addresses

Some properties in Australia have more than one official address registered in government records.

When this occurs, Landchecker displays all registered addresses in the right-hand side property information panel to help you confirm you're viewing the correct property.

Why properties have multiple addresses

Properties can have multiple registered addresses for several reasons:

1. Corner lots - Properties located on street corners typically have an address for each street frontage

2. Dual street access - Properties with vehicle or pedestrian access from multiple streets may be registered with an address for each access point

3. Historical records - Properties that were previously part of a subdivision or consolidation may retain old address records in government databases

4. Different authority records - State land registries, local councils, and Australia Post may record different addresses for the same land parcel

How to view multiple addresses in Landchecker

When you search for a property that has multiple registered addresses:

1. Enter your address in the search bar (for example, 215/2-8 Rigg Street, Woree, Qld 4868)

2. The property information panel opens on the right-hand side

3. The selected address displays at the top as the primary address

4. Hover over the "+1 more" text beside the primary address to reveal additional registered addresses

NOTE: The number shown depends on how many address aliases exist. For example, "+2 more" if there are two additional addresses.

For 215/2-8 Rigg Street, Woree Qld 4868, it will display the alias address 344/2-8 Rigg Street, Woree Qld 4868.

5. All addresses refer to the same property and land parcel

The benefits of having access to address aliases

Understanding all registered addresses helps you:

1. Verify the correct property

Cross-reference multiple addresses with the property boundaries shown on the map to confirm you're viewing the intended property

2. Prevent document confusion

Property documents like titles, plans, or council certificates may list any of the registered addresses. Knowing all addresses helps you match documents to properties correctly

3. Complete due diligence

Having all address information ensures comprehensive property research, especially important before purchase or development
