No verification items generated for this record.
Each line above is labelled. A fact is quoted from the named source, with its date. A calculation is worked out by Districts from those facts — you can check the arithmetic. An interpretation is Districts' opinion of what the evidence means, not a fact, a valuation, or advice. Anything we haven't retrieved yet is marked as missing rather than treated as a pass.

Source
Planning facts are copied from official government GIS where available. Where an official property PDF exists (VicPlan, PlanBuild), Districts stores and serves that original document. Neither is a planning certificate, survey, or advice.
Site
Terrain has not been calculated for this property yet.
Slope is calculated on a projected metric grid from a public DEM clip of the official parcel. This is not a survey, engineering, or insurance assessment.
Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
The official layer was queried and no heritage listed area was detected on this parcel (NSW ePlanning Spatial Viewer, retrieved 30 Aug 2026). Mapped layers change — this is the strongest all-clear Districts can give, not a certificate.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
NSWZoned Medium Density Residential · R3 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 580 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. If the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check, this lot can outperform a same-suburb house that is hold-as-is only. That is not a forecast. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $692/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet. Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded. Suburb vacancy or leased-tape days are not this property’s competition.
Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.
Verdict
Districts view
This looks more compelling as a land / capital-growth play than a pure yield play — if the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check.
Detail
Zoned Medium Density Residential · R3 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 580 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.
Achieved rent for this address has not been inferred. Gross yield on advertising copy is not the deal.
Nearby DA pipeline is unknown, so neighbourhood change is not in this verdict.
Evidence
Districts asks the same ten questions of every property. If one shows as unknown, that data isn't published for this state or hasn't been loaded yet — the question stays visible so you can see exactly what's missing.
4 of 10 questions answered so far
Development optionality of this lot
KnownmediumZoned Medium Density Residential · R3 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 580 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies.

Nearby development pipeline
UnknownNSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.
Honest achievable rent
KnownlowThis is not “bond data says this address leases for $X.” The comparable figure is a suburb advertised/median rent, not this property. Official bond files (postcode or suburb × type × bedrooms) are not loaded yet.
Rental supply pressure
UnknownSupply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.
Why is this cheap?
KnownmediumNo material overlays were returned that would explain a discount. That is not proof the price is fair. Nearby DAs, easements, and flood-layer gaps can still explain a cheap-looking listing — those are not all loaded.
Lot-level flood
UnknownFlood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”
Catalyst exposure

Listing material
Listed by Presence Real EstateBrought to life through renovations that started around three years ago, this four-bedroom, two-storey home set on a corner block is a picture-perfect example of sophistication with a strong emphasis on liveability. Designed with a deliberate flow from front to back, thoughtful angles and an inherent relaxed feel, this address cleverly integrates indoor and outdoor living. With a mix of intimate spaces and large entertainment areas, the versatility of the home is complemented by its practicality and its style.
Greeted upon entry by a large open-plan living and kitchen space, the home immediately shows itself to be bright and welcoming. Bathed in natural light, the entire space fills with prevailing breezes through the large windows and doors that open to the north facing timber deck. A separate dining room lies just off the living space while a hallway feeds to two bedrooms, both with ceiling fans, one with built-in robe and the other with a walk-in robe, as well as the main bathroom with separate bath and walk-in shower. All effort has been made to continue the appreciation of natural light upstairs, which is showcased by gorgeous 100% New Zealand wool carpeting and two bedrooms, including the large master bedroom which features a beautifully designed ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. At the rear of the house is a second living area which impresses with its open nature gifted by the stunning window-wall and adjacent large glass sliding door that opens to the covered Merbau timber deck. As an entertainment area, the rear of this house has been magnificently imagined, offering plentiful space for large get-togethers in any weather, as well as a heated inground pool with resort-style decking, full coverage lighting and motorized screens. Also at the rear of the property is a separate two-car garage that could be converted into an office, gym or granny flat (STCA). The entire property presents as thoughtfully landscaped with a tropical feel that will not demand high maintenance.
As a sum of its parts this build is immensely impressive, but it's through the interplay of the natural surrounds and living spaces that this home hits supreme heights. Given the exceptional quality of all finishes and materials used it's a home that will provide a magnificent haven for the entire family. And with several well-regarded schools nearby, less than a two-kilometre drive to Charlestown Square and just two and a half kilometres to Dudley Beach, the area itself is an incredibly convenient place to call home.
