The New South Wales gap ClimateNest closes

Contracts must include s10.7 certificates revealing flood/bushfire affectation. ClimateNest supplements or challenges inconsistent council-issued s10.7s with forward-looking data.

Duty of care is now explicit

The NSW Law Society's October 2025 Climate Change Practitioner Guidance made the profession's evolving duty explicit, and the expectation is spreading nationally. Buyers, lenders and insurers now expect climate due diligence on every file — and professional indemnity insurers are asking what you did to document it.

ClimateNest gives you a documented, reproducible evidence trail for every settlement in New South Wales: which overlays were checked, what the forward-looking data says, and what contract clauses you recommended. That's your defensive practice file.

All Australian states and territories supported. Legislation data is hardcoded and never AI-generated.
