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.

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 Mackay'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 $636/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 4.9%. 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 Robyn Faa Real EstatePositioned in one of Mackay’s most sought-after and convenient suburbs, this solid low-set brick home offers an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking space, location and future potential in the heart of West Mackay.
Set on a generous, fully fenced 797m² block, this three-bedroom home also includes an office or rumpus room, making it a practical option for first home buyers, families, investors or renovators looking to secure a property in a highly desirable area.
West Mackay is loved for its central convenience, family-friendly feel and easy access to everything. From here, you are just a short walk to the beautiful Botanic Gardens and Botanic Gardens Café, with Catherine McAuley College positioned at the end of the street. Shamrock Hotel, IGA 24/7, local parks, schools, sporting facilities, Mackay Base Hospital, Paget, the airport and the CBD are all within easy reach. It is this combination of lifestyle, privacy and everyday convenience that makes West Mackay such a consistently popular suburb.
Inside, the home features an open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area, with a central storage unit separating the living space from the kitchen. The layout is simple, functional and full of potential, with the home ready for immediate occupancy while still offering plenty of scope to update and add value over time.
All bedrooms are well sized & provided air conditioning, fans & built in wardrobes. The main bathroom includes a separate toilet, adding practicality for everyday living.
A spacious laundry opens directly into the enclosed garage, which would be ideal as a home office, workshop, hobby room or additional storage space as it is fully air conditioned with a ceiling fan. The home also includes a double carport that opens through to a tiled courtyard and entry area.
Outside, the property offers excellent access and storage options. Side access leads to the impressive 6m x 9m shed, complete with one large roller door, a separate entrance, an enclosed storeroom and a council-approved bathroom. The shed adds enormous versatility for trades, storage, projects, vehicles or those needing extra space separate from the main home.
Additional features include a 2.25kW solar system, new fans, new lights, a new hot water cylinder at the house, a hot water cylinder at the shed, and compliant smoke alarms installed in both buildings.
While the home is in need of some updating, the location, block size, shed, side access and overall potential make this a fantastic opportunity in a tightly held West Mackay pocket.
Whether you are looking for a starter home, a renovation project, an investment or simply a well-positioned property with excellent shed space, this address delivers the convenience and lifestyle that West Mackay is known for.
