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.

Data unavailable
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 31 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 Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 464 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 $898/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 Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 464 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.

Development optionality of this lot
KnownmediumZoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 464 m².

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.”

Listing material
Listed by First National Real Estate Newcastle CityOne of just three homes on tightly held Krambruk Road, Valentine, and one of only two with absolute lake frontage and direct water access, this original lakeside cottage sits in a position most people spend a lifetime chasing. North-facing, uninterrupted, and directly connected to Lake Macquarie, it's the kind of address that changes how every day feels.
Mornings start quietly, coffee in hand, watching the lake wake up. By midday, the kayak or paddleboard slips straight into the water from your backyard, or the boat heads out from your own boathouse and private jetty. Come evening, the rear patio becomes front row seating as the sun drops behind Mount Sugarloaf. The sunsets from here are magical.
What truly sets this offering apart is the work that’s already been completed. Plans are in place for an architecturally designed, two-storey, four-bedroom home perfectly suited to this once-in-a-generation setting and DA approval has already been secured. Whether you choose to build right away or move at your own pace, the groundwork has been done.
Beyond the water's edge, life here is wonderfully grounded. Foreshore walks lead to Valentine Bowling Club, kids and dogs spill into nearby parks, and Green Point Reserve offers bushwalks and picnics on a whim. Shopping and dining await in Belmont or Warners Bay, and even the Belmont Hospital commute feels leisurely.
