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.

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, bushfire and heritage

Flood

Not retrieved

Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.

Heritage

Not detected — official

The official layer was queried and no heritage listed area was detected on this parcel (NSW ePlanning Spatial Viewer, retrieved 31 Aug 2026). Mapped layers change — this is the strongest all-clear Districts can give, not a certificate.

Capital growth

NSW

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: medium

Zoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 676 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.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

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

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $710/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.

What competition will it face?

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.

What does the yield actually look like?

Confidence: low

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

What this means for this property

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 Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 676 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

What is known for this property

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.

3 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownmedium

    Zoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 676 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.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

  • Honest achievable rent

    Knownlow

    This 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

    Unknown

    Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.

  • Why is this cheap?

    Knownmedium

    Official parcel about 676 m² — land size can look like optionality. No 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

    Unknown

    Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

  • Catalyst exposure

    Unknown

    Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

  • This lot's DA history

    Unknown

    No DA adapter returned applications for this parcel.

  • Statutory land value versus ask

    Unknown

    NSW Valuer General land values are not loaded for this property yet.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

Listing material

Listed by Harcourts Newcastle

Beautifully renovated for indoor/outdoor living & entertaining

Beautifully renovated and thoughtfully reimagined, this home has been transformed from front fence to back fence into a high-quality, contemporary retreat made for real family living and serious entertaining. From the striking new fencing and landscaped surrounds to the coveredyou deck and sparkling pool beyond, every upgrade has been done with intent, not shortcuts.

The flowing single-level layout makes day-to-day life effortless. Open plan living feels both relaxed and refined, grounded by polished concrete floors, plantation shutters, and ducted air conditioning for year-round comfort. The galley kitchen anchors the space beautifully, offering generous storage, excellent prep space, and a 900mm gas cooker that's ready for everything from weeknight dinners to hosting a crowd. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms deliver genuine space for families and guests. The main suite is a standout, complete with a large walk-in robe and a full-scale ensuite featuring a bath, twin shower, and twin vanity that feels more boutique hotel than suburban home. Outside is where this home really hits its stride. The covered deck and pool create a true all-season entertaining zone, whether it's summer afternoons by the water or long evenings under cover with friends. Rooftop solar keeps running costs in check, tying off a renovation that's as practical as it is impressive.

Set in a quiet pocket between Whitebridge shops and Bennetts Green Retail Park, everyday convenience is sorted. The Fernleigh Track is nearby for walks or bike rides, and Dudley and Redhead beaches are just five minutes away.
