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 Macleay Island'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 $464/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. No recorded off-street parking — often a discount versus the suburb median for the same beds.
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 2.7%. 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 Macleay Island Property AgentsSome places have a way of slowing time. Secret Beach is one of them.
Tucked away along one of Macleay Island's most tightly held stretches of coastline, this exceptional waterfront property enjoys approximately 20 metres of sandy beachfront on a generous 961m² absolute waterfront allotment. Facing due east across Moreton Bay to North Stradbroke Island, it's a place where every sunrise is different, the tides gently reshape the shoreline, and the ever-changing outlook becomes part of everyday life.
Known affectionately by locals as Secret Beach, this beautiful pocket of Macleay Island is rarely offered for sale. With only a handful of homes enjoying direct sandy frontage, opportunities to purchase here are genuinely uncommon.
Adding peace of mind to this remarkable setting is a substantial 32-tonne engineered granite seawall, providing quality protection while allowing direct access to the sandy beach below.
Freshly painted inside and out, the home has been thoughtfully refreshed while retaining the warmth and character that make it so inviting. Beautiful hand-polished timber floors, soaring ceilings and timber accents create an immediate sense of space, while the home's design embraces its spectacular waterfront position.
At the heart of the home is a generous central living room where natural light pours through and the ever-changing bay becomes the backdrop to daily life. The adjoining eat-in galley kitchen enjoys water views of its own, making even everyday moments feel connected to the outdoors.
Wrapping around the waterside and southern side of the home, the enclosed sunroom is one of its most appealing features. Flooded with natural light and framed by windows, it follows the waterfront, creating a series of inviting spaces that can easily adapt to your lifestyle. Whether it's a quiet reading room, home office, artist's studio, hobby room or simply the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, it is a wonderful extension of the home's living areas that keeps the bay in constant view.
The home offers two generous bedrooms, a family bathroom, separate toilet, practical mudroom and an external laundry. While officially a two-bedroom home, its generous proportions and flexible living spaces create a sense of openness that is both welcoming and surprisingly spacious.
Step outside and it's easy to understand why homes in this location are so tightly held.
The expansive timber entertaining deck overlooks beautifully maintained lawns, mature gums and the sandy foreshore beyond. The trees provide shade and privacy while perfectly framing the magnificent outlook across Moreton Bay to North Stradbroke Island. Launch a kayak, throw in a fishing line, stroll along the beach at low tide or simply sit back and watch the changing colours of the bay from your own backyard.
Beneath the home is an impressive multipurpose area of approximately 10m x 5m, complete with two garage doors opening towards the waterfront. Whether you're seeking a workshop, studio, boat storage or additional entertaining space, it offers exceptional flexibility rarely found in waterfront homes.
Some waterfront homes offer a view.
Very few offer a genuine sandy beach, an established coastal setting and a home that sits so naturally within its surroundings.
Secret Beach has remained one of Macleay Island's hidden treasures for generations. Now, one fortunate buyer will have the opportunity to make it their own.
