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 1 Sept 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 1 Sept 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 969 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 $575/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.
2 of 10 questions answered so far
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 969 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 972 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 EstateThis substantial property just 1km from Albany's CBD and with sweeping harbour and ocean views will bring myriad rewards for new owners recognising its flexibility and amazing possibilities.
It consists of a main home and a separate unit, providing options for family members to live independently, or for letting out one or both.
The property is in good shape and would benefit from a few cosmetic changes, though going further with a modernisation project would add real value and result in two desirable residences.
Built in the 1980s, the main home of brick and tile occupies a site at the top of the sloping block near the road.
Two full-length windows and two sets of glazed doors in the open living room make this space sunny and welcoming, and an impressive, covered balcony along the back maximises the expansive outlook from King George Sound, Michaelmas and Breaksea Islands and Frenchman Bay to Princess Royal Harbour, Torndirrup National Park and Vancouver Peninsula. Even closer in view are the port, the jetty and the dock for visiting cruise ships.
The living area is carpeted and fitted with air conditioning, and the kitchen at the far end has gas cooking, white cabinetry and vinyl flooring.
On the view side, the super-king master bedroom has built-in robes and carpet.
Along the hallway are the other two double bedrooms, the bathroom with a walk-in shower and vanity, the laundry and a separate toilet.
At the back of the 969sqm block is the brick and Colorbond unit.
The living space consists of a carpeted, open-plan lounge and dining area, and the kitchen with a corner pantry, gas cooking and a view from the sink. A terrific balcony for outdoor living takes in the fabulous outlook and a wood fire makes for cosy winters.
Both double bedrooms have built-in robes and there's a shower room with a vanity and toilet, and a laundry at the back door.
A drive at the side leads to a double carport at the main home, and a single garage and parking space at the unit.
