Districts View
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.

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
VICPlanning 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.” Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $531/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. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown. 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 McDonald UptonAn exceptional opportunity to secure a substantial parcel of land and shape your family’s future in a highly regarded Essendon pocket.
The existing dwelling is beyond repair and ready to make way for something far greater. Clear the site, start fresh, and unlock the full potential of this outstanding allotment. While the home currently comprises three bedrooms, a lounge room, dining area, kitchen, bathroom, and two car spaces, its condition means it is best suited for redevelopment.
Positioned near the Keilor Road end of Deakin Street, this flat site of approx. 644m2 with a frontage of approx. 15 metres offers exciting possibilities to build a luxurious new home or explore a dual occupancy development (STCA).
Adding further appeal, the neighbouring property at 136 Deakin Street is also available to purchase, offering approx. 640m2 and an additional frontage of approx. 15.1 metres. Secure both and unlock a rare large scale development opportunity in a tightly held location.
Set in a family focused neighbourhood, you are just moments from the vibrant Keilor Road precinct with its cafes, restaurants and everyday conveniences. Excellent public transport options are within easy reach, including trams and nearby Essendon Station, ensuring a seamless commute to the CBD.
Surrounded by some of the area’s most respected schools, as well as local parks and recreational facilities, this is a location that continues to attract both families and long term investors.
The future here is limited only by your vision.
Please note: Due to the condition of the dwelling, access for internal inspections will not be available. This offering is best suited to buyers intending to redevelop the site.
