No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
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.
The official layer was queried and no bushfire risk zone was detected on this parcel (Landgate SLIP, retrieved 31 Aug 2026). Mapped layers change — this is the strongest all-clear Districts can give, not a certificate.
The official layer was queried and no heritage listed area was detected on this parcel (Landgate SLIP, 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
WAWA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 1,697 m² — that is not official geometry. 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.
Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $527/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 for this property. 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. 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.

Development optionality of this lot
UnknownWA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 1,697 m² — that is not official geometry.
Nearby development pipeline
UnknownNearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
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?
KnownmediumOfficial parcel about 1,700 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
UnknownFlood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”
Catalyst exposure
UnknownFunded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
This lot's DA history
UnknownNo DA adapter returned applications for this parcel.
Statutory land value versus ask
UnknownStatutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.
Net yield / holding costs
UnknownNet yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Listing material
Listed by Merrifield Real EstateA neat 1960'S cottage, a huge block fronting the shore of Princess Royal Harbour, uninterrupted views over the water to the city and prospects for development make this outstanding property a highly desirable package.
The home sits on an elevated site near the front of its impressive 1697sqm block, which is terraced in three grassy sections with fruit trees, natives attracting an abundance of birdlife, a chook run and several sheds.
The cottage has been extended and modernised over the years while retaining its character in timber floors and window frames and high ceilings.
The main living area consists of an open family room and dining space with a wood fire and the kitchen to one side taking in the amazing outlook to the port, Mt Melville and Mt Clarence, extending to the Vancouver Peninsula.
This view is shared by a private, covered deck along the back of the house, a sensational spot for relaxed weekend brunches, a cold beer after work, or gazing at the cruise ships or new year fireworks.
Back inside, the comfortable, carpeted lounge has a picture window looking onto the leafy front garden, and of the two bedrooms, one is queen sized and the other is a big single.
Combined into one wet room, the laundry and bathroom have been modernised and include a walk-in shower, vanity, toilet and trough.
Outbuildings comprise a garage with a remote-controlled door, a small workshop, a second shed with easy access to power, a woodshed and a toolshed.
As well as being an ideal holiday home for out-of-towners, the property presents several exciting and potentially lucrative options, with the appropriate planning approvals.
Extending and updating the cottage – or replacing it – would create a dream home and a modern lifestyle while exploiting the views and the land.
Or new owners could maximise the possibilities of the superior site by developing the block with more than one contemporary residence. There's also the possibility of subdividing and either selling on the second lot or building an additional home.
And while planning the next move, there's the option to rent out the property, which has an excellent history of long-term leasing.
Its location in lovely Little Grove near crabbing, fishing and sailing, and only eight minutes' drive to Albany's CBD, enhances the attraction of this exceptional real estate.
