Every rural property transaction in Australia is captured by state Valuer Generals (VG), providing a critical foundation for understanding the market. But, while this information has long been available, it wasn’t designed to meet the specific needs of rural property analysis - especially since it was not available in a geospatial format.

For the rural property and valuations market, this meant there were minimal ways to support map-based analysis across regions. 

Does a National Geospatial Dataset for Rural Sales Exist In Australia? 

Yes. DAS has bridged this gap by enhancing raw VG sales data into a cohesive, geospatially mapped dataset. Each transaction is spatially expressed within a property boundary—enabling accurate comparisons, aggregation, and integration with other datasets.
