Property information searches

Important information - 2024/2025 rating information

The City of Onkaparinga launched a new Conveyancer Portal on 29 April 2024. If you are a conveyancer that has not used our new online portal, you will need to register again here.

If you incur difficulties, please contact the Customer Relations team on 08 8384 0666.

We will endeavour to process your requests as quickly as possible. 

Searches provide information on a particular property. They can only be ordered online by or on behalf of a person who has an interest in land within the area.

Who can apply?

For the purposes of ordering a Search, the Local Government Act 1999 (Section 187) states that a person has an interest in land if, and only if that person is:

  • the owner of a registered estate or interest in the land; or
  • an occupier of the land; or
  • a person who has entered or declares to the Council that he or she proposes to enter into a contract to purchase the land; or
  • a mortgagee or prospective mortgagee of the land.
