Check what is nearby

Find the closest stations, stops, schools, hospitals, shops and parks, and choose how far to look.

Access to transport, schools and shops shapes who buys and what they pay. The property panel can list the nearest of each from public data, pinned on the map as numbered markers. It loads nothing until you ask.

   With a property selected, open the "Nearby places" section of the panel. It appears only for states where the data is held, which today means Victoria. Until you select a property it says "Select a property to search near it."
