Districts View
No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
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.

Planning
Planning data is being calculated
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.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
NSWPlanning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet. A suburb median or growth rate is not a reason this particular lot would outperform. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” 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 $711/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
Not enough official evidence yet to underwrite this as an investment.
Detail
The same ten questions apply to every property. Missing flood, nearby DAs, achieved rents, or lot geometry is unknown — not “no.”
Do not treat a suburb median, an advertised yield, or a listing score as the case for this lot.
The evidence loaded so far isn't enough on its own to change a buy, offer, or walk-away decision for this property.
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.

Listing material
Listed by First National Real Estate Andrew McGrathEvery home has something special to offer, but this home has so many special features it will be hard to choose your top 10!
The most obvious is the location, with pristine Blacksmiths Beach at the end of your street, less than 250m away. The surf club is less than 1km away, if you would prefer to swim between the flags and the famous Granny Pool is about 300m past that. The local shops are a level walk from home and include a post office, mechanic, bakery, butcher, hardware store, hairdresser, doctor and chemist!
This is the first time this gem has been offered for sale. The home has been well maintained and tastefully updated, but clever renovators will still see the potential flowing indoor / outdoor living spaces and maybe even a pool.
The 689m2 corner block is fully fenced and has vehicle access from both streets. There's a two-way garage in the corner of the block so each street has a garage to drive into, so there is plenty of available parking. The garage opens on to the covered alfresco area, so no mad dash in the rain to get to the house! The block is zoned R2, low density.
Now, lets get to the jewel in the crown. One quick look at the floorplan and you'll see how much potential there is in this home. Large L-shaped living and the dining space wrap around the modernised kitchen with dishwasher and underbench oven. The bedrooms, on the other side of the home all wrap around the renovated bathroom that features a separate spa bath, shower and toilet.
These two areas meet at the Family/Rumpus room that opens onto the covered outdoor entertaining area - which has a very convenient second shower and toilet in the laundry, close by. The L-shaped living area enjoys a sunny Northerly aspect and the whole home benefits from the cool sea breeze through the oversized windows.
There's three generous bedrooms, all with built-ins, one has private access to a sunny utility room - ideal as a nursery, study or parents' retreat!
Located just 250m from the beach, 1km from gorgeous Swansea Channel which is the entry to stunning Lake Macquarie ... a water lovers paradise
