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.

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
QLDZoned Low-medium density residential (2 or 3 storey mix) · LMR (Brisbane City Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 2,732 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. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $628/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.
3 of 10 questions answered so far
Development optionality of this lot
KnownmediumZoned Low-medium density residential (2 or 3 storey mix) · LMR (Brisbane City Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 2,732 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
UnknownNearby 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 2,732 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 SPACE Property PaddingtonWe are proudly presenting an outstanding opportunity to purchase one of Brisbane's most significant accommodation facilities – Herston Lodge.
Centrally located in the near-city suburb of Herston, the 2,762 sqm Low-Medium Residential density (2 or 3 storey mix) allotment is situated 3.5 km by road north of the Brisbane GPO, 1.6 km north east of QUT Kelvin Grove and 800 metres west from the Royal Brisbane Women's Hospital.
The facility is accredited for a maximum of 91 residents and comprises three buildings and 68 bedrooms. The main building features 57 rooms with four sets of male and female bathrooms, a laundry, a commercial kitchen, two living areas, and staff amenities. The colonial dwelling offers 11 rooms, bathroom facilities, storage, and a laundry. The neat and tidy complex includes a substantial 18.7kw solar system and ample onsite car parking. The gross floor area is estimated at 1,320 square metres.
The property is leased by a Level 3/NDIS provider, paying approximately $292,000 per annum net, with all outgoings being recoverable. The tenant has been in occupation since 2018 and recently signed a new lease expiring December 2028. Rent reviews are 5% per annum and the lease includes a mutual 6-month break lease clause for either the lessor or lessee to operate.
Herston Lodge presents a significant opportunity to explore the development potential of the 2,762 sqm LMR allotment, operate a large accommodation facility, or retain the existing tenant.
Demand for rooming accommodation is currently sky-high, and rents have increased dramatically over the past 12 months throughout Brisbane. With minimal capital works, Herston Lodge could be converted (subject to approval) to a large-scale Level 1 rooming accommodation facility, capitalizing on the shortage of rooms throughout Brisbane.
The property presents a versatile and lucrative investment opportunity with multiple pathways for the discerning investor. Please contact me for more information and inspections are strictly by appointment.
