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
VICPlanning 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.” Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $603/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. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown. 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.

Listing material
Listed by Ray White BentleighSet on a substantial 724sqm (approx.) allotment (RGZ3), this former police station presents a rare and unique opportunity in the heart of Highett for renovators, investors, or developers seeking a property with exceptional potential. Decommissioned in the 1990s, the double-storey brick building still features an original jail cell in the backyard-an intriguing remnant of its historical past that adds character and conversation to the site.
Offering a spacious and highly flexible layout, the home is designed to accommodate a wide range of living arrangements across two levels. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms are serviced by a central bathroom, forming a comfortable family zone. Downstairs, two additional bedrooms extend the accommodation capacity, including a master bedroom featuring a walk-in robe, and additional space for a study and a sitting area-ideal for multi-generational living or work-from-home setups.
The living zone is expansive, complete with an electric heater and an air conditioning unit for year-round comfort. The open-plan kitchen, meals, and dining area provide a large communal space, with a gas cooktop and oven and durable tiled benchtops ready for use or refurbishment. The lower level also includes a separate WC, a practical laundry, and valuable under-stair storage.
Outside, the property features two separate storage rooms and a large, detached studio, perfect for use as a workshop, artist's retreat, or flexible utility space. A powder room is conveniently located outside. Ample off-street parking adds further appeal, while the solid brick construction and large landholding elevate the property's value as a renovation or redevelopment site (STCA).
Importantly, the property is located in the Residential Growth Zone - Schedule 3 (RGZ3), offering significant potential for higher-density development. With no heritage overlay in place, the site provides maximum flexibility for those looking to transform or reimagine the space.
Superbly positioned within walking distance to Highett Station, Highett Road Village, and Highett Shopping Centre, the property also enjoys close proximity to Highett Reserve, Waves Leisure Centre, Southland Shopping Centre, and Sir William Fry Reserve. Educational and recreational amenities nearby include Holmesglen Institute, Moorabbin Primary School, Moorabbin Reserve, Moorabbin Village, Basterfield Park, Bluff Road Village, and Peterson Street Reserve.
Offering an abundance of space, structural integrity, and untapped potential in a thriving Bayside suburb, this is a rare chance to make your mark on one of Highett's most distinctive and versatile properties.
