Districts View
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 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
SAZoned Suburban Neighbourhood · SN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 695 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. Zoning and lot facts are a starting point, not proof this lot outperforms the suburb. 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.” Street frontage and true lot geometry are not confirmed without open cadastre. Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. 4 development applications on this parcel. Code Assessed - Deemed to Satisfy (Decision Made); Accepted (Decision Made); Code Assessed - Performance Assessed (Decision Made) Plus 1 more on this parcel. Latest lodgement recorded 2025-09-10. These are this lot’s applications, not the neighbourhood pipeline. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $580/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. 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.
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 OCAuction Sat, 7th Mar - 11.30am (USP)
Set in a picture-perfect garden, growing families will blossom in this periodically updated, solar-powered home that extends (literally) its accommodating ways beyond its robust 1950s bones and into a serene, north-facing rear garden setting with a separate, semi self-contained studio/retreat.
With four beautifully-sized bedrooms, modern central kitchen, two updated bathrooms, bamboo flooring and multiple living zones to go with its vast, covered alfresco patio and plentiful off-street parking, this is nothing short of the complete package on just over 700sqm.
Open the Door To:
⁃ A double brick 1950s classic, extended to add extra bedrooms and a additional living
⁃ Four beautifully proportioned bedrooms and a genuinely versatile floor plan that flexes easily for growing families, blended households or long-term guests
⁃ A modern central kitchen with Essastone benchtops, dishwasher, gas cooktop and seamless connection to dining/living
⁃ Three updated bathrooms in total, including one with a spa
⁃ A surprise rear studio or games room complete with kitchenette, bathroom, split system air conditioning and dual skylights, ideal as a home office, gym, retreat or teen hangout
⁃ Vast covered alfresco entertaining in a serene, north-facing rear garden framed by established, low-maintenance greenery
⁃ Bamboo flooring underfoot, LED lighting throughout and loads of cleverly integrated storage
⁃ Year-round comfort thanks to split systems in the main house and rumpus, evaporative cooling, plus a gas heater to the front lounge
⁃ Secure off-street parking for two cars behind a roller door, plus plentiful additional parking
Close the Door On:
⁃ Feeling boxed in. Step into a four-bedroom layout with dual living zones and a fully equipped rear studio that flexes with every stage of family life
⁃ Spiralling energy bills. Benefit from 1.9kW solar, LED lighting and rainwater tanks plumbed directly to the house
⁃ Transport hassles. Tap into buses around the corner on Winston Avenue, along South and Daws Roads, plus nearby tram and train links for an easy commute
Melrose Park has well and truly arrived; five minutes to Castle Plaza, moments to the tram on South Road, coffee within strolling distance and the CBD close enough to make the commute feel like nothing. Leafy streets, solid mid century homes and that sweet pocket between city and sea give this suburb its understated swagger, the kind that keeps families settled and newcomers quietly impressed. Welcome to the neighbourhood.

Nearby development pipeline
Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.
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 695 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
Knownmedium4 development applications on this parcel. Code Assessed - Deemed to Satisfy (Decision Made); Accepted (Decision Made); Code Assessed - Performance Assessed (Decision Made) Plus 1 more on this parcel. Latest lodgement recorded 2025-09-10. These are this lot’s applications, not the neighbourhood pipeline.
