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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.
Stamp duty and transfer fees: Queensland schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Pre-filled with West End's advertised median rent — not a rent for this listing.
Gross yield is weekly rent × 52 ÷ price. Net yield subtracts operating expenses. Cashflow then subtracts interest-only interest on price × LVR. Tax, vacancies, and principal repayments are not included.
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
QLDPlanning 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.” Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $417/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. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. 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.
Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 2.9%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.
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 Need PropertyPositioned in one of Townsville's most tightly held inner-city suburbs, 10 Castling Street presents an increasingly rare opportunity to secure two fully self-contained residences on one beautifully landscaped 506m² allotment.
Offering far more than a traditional home, this versatile property provides the flexibility to live in one, rent the other, rent both, accommodate extended family or create a separate space for guests, teenagers or a home-based business. It is a property designed to adapt to the way you want to live — while offering the potential to make your property work harder for you.
The main residence combines character, comfort and functionality, featuring two generous bedrooms, a well-appointed bathroom and a spacious lounge extending from the enclosed front verandah. The generous eat-in kitchen is the heart of the home, offering excellent bench space, abundant storage and a charming walk-in pantry nook adjoining the dining area.
Adding an entirely separate dimension to the property is the self-contained cottage, offering the independence and functionality of a second residence. Complete with one bedroom, ensuite, kitchen, dining and living areas, a front wrap-around verandah and separate outdoor laundry, the cottage provides an ideal solution for extended family, teenagers, guests or those seeking a private work-from-home environment.
For investors, the configuration is particularly compelling, with the ability to lease both residences independently and a combined rental appraisal of approximately $850–$930 per week. For owner-occupiers, the second residence provides an opportunity to generate additional income while retaining the convenience of having family or guests close by — without compromising privacy or independence.
An expansive covered carport connects the two residences, providing secure off-street parking while also creating a generous sheltered area for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying the Queensland lifestyle.
Outside, established gardens provide a peaceful and private backdrop, complemented by bespoke water features and a secure garden shed. The landscaping adds a sense of tranquillity rarely associated with such a conveniently positioned inner-city property.
And then there is the location.
From here, Townsville CBD, Queensland Country Bank Stadium, The Strand, quality schools, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities are all just moments away, placing the best of the city within easy reach while maintaining the charm and privacy of a residential setting.
Live in one. Rent the other. Rent both. Or simply enjoy the flexibility.
Whether your priority is building your investment portfolio, creating an additional income stream, accommodating multiple generations of family or securing a home that can evolve with your circumstances, 10 Castling Street offers genuine versatility with options rarely found in the inner city.
Two residences. Two potential income streams. One tightly held address.
Opportunities like this are increasingly difficult to find. Come and experience 10 Castling Street for yourself and discover just how many ways this property can work for you.
