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.
Bushfire 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 heritage listed area was detected on this parcel (NSW ePlanning Spatial Viewer, retrieved 31 Aug 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
NSWZoned Recreational Waterways · W2 (Kempsey Local Environmental Plan 2013). Official parcel area about 1,555 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.” Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. 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 $472/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.

Development optionality of this lot
KnownmediumZoned Recreational Waterways · W2 (Kempsey Local Environmental Plan 2013). Official parcel area about 1,555 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.
Nearby development pipeline
UnknownNSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.
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 1,555 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

Statutory land value versus ask

Net yield / holding costs
UnknownNSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

Listing material
Listed by Kelly Flanagan Real EstateI could tell you literally every inch how this home was built and how amazing it is to live there with those views because it was my home for 10 years and I built it! Mind you the current owner has made a few changes since.
Walking back in after not living there for ten years I straight away missed the view, missed the big deck and bbq's had there, missed having a spa bath overlooking the river, missed having a shower with the door open to the deck with the fresh air and view coming in, missed waking up and looking out over the early morning river spectacular, missed the kitchen with it's massive island bench – it was a very pleasurable home to live in and so close to work and hospital and schools.
The high concrete front wall gives privacy to a spacious front courtyard – a secondary outdoor living space with bench seats, and direct access to garage, living and bedrooms two and three. Once you get into the courtyard and shut the gate, you are locked away from the world. Once you shut the front door you are in another world, it is hard to think you are in town. The views are heavenly, relaxing and always so entertaining with the life of the river and all the birds, the cows and frolicking poddy calves over on the farm across the way, the different moods of the sky – the sunsets are to die for. I never got around to it, but I was always going to film the last half hour of every day and make a video for the whole year.
But yes, the front courtyard is secondary to the back deck that reaches the full width of the home and is accessed off the dining, living, shower, main bedroom.
The rear of the home, both up and downstair is a ninety and eighty percent glass respectively so the river and rural views come into ninety percent of the home – only bedrooms two and three miss out on the views. Yes, even the laundry has the views. You can be in bed or on the lounge downstairs and still be swept away with the stunning panorama.
The main bathroom and en-suite are back-to-back, and the currently long shower was designed so that someone could simply install a glass panel and split the shower into two separate showers if they wanted too. But yes, having a door opening straight out on the deck and having a shower with the fresh air was amazing (also, great to drag the dog in for a wash and lock it up on the deck until dry lol).
