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 $600/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 Harcourts NewcastleFrom the kerb, this unassuming 3-bedroom weatherboard home sits neatly in its Tighes Hill streetscape, yet what lies beyond is a unique second dwelling sitting absolute waterfront overlooking Throsby Creek. A one-off bespoke design by architect Murray James, this amazing shipping container property, crafted over two self-contained levels, is made out of five steel containers.
On ground level, two side-by-side containers create a large workshop extended by a studio with its own bathroom, deck and courtyard. Upstairs, three containers and an extension form a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom home with a large open plan living space, contemporary kitchen and laundry and a deck. This delightful alfresco spot looks out over the water allowing you to completely immerse yourself in the peace and serenity of your surroundings.
A property that is as stunning and unique as its location, glass maximises natural light while a mix of recycled materials, including the signature containers, have been cleverly used to create an industrial chic effect that's totally in keeping with its once blue-collar surrounds.
This inimitable waterfront dual occupancy is a once in a lifetime opportunity that will greatly appeal to investors seeking a lucrative return, families wanting to live in one home and rent the other, or those wanting to house multiple generations - but not necessarily in the same property.
Nearby you will find the very best Newcastle's inner city has to offer, an easy stroll to popular Tighes Hill Public School, Islington Park, the swing of Beaumont Street's cafes, trains and vintage shops and minutes from waterside walks to Honeysuckle, harbour and beaches.
