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
ACTPlanning 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 for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $560/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 for this property. 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.

Development optionality of this lot
UnknownPlanning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.
Nearby development pipeline
UnknownNearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
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. This jurisdiction has no comparable official bond series in the free set.
Rental supply pressure
UnknownSupply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.
Why is this cheap?
UnknownThe constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.
Lot-level flood
UnknownOfficial flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). 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
UnknownDevelopment applications have not been queried 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.

Listing material
Listed by Blackshaw ManukaThis is an extraordinary residence created by renowned architect, Laurie Virr, who designed homes in Australia and the USA. This home in Deakin presents, amongst other features, geometric designs, high ceilings and solar passive orientation. It is a remarkable tri-level construction, made of Bowral bricks, and was designed to be built down the slope of the allotment at Fergusson Crescent. Discreetly facing the street, the double brick home is private, set behind mature gardens, while the massive brick structure towards the rear of the home is functional and beautifully designed and built.
The current, and original, owners commissioned this home, recognisable as a design by Laurie Virr - an architect who established his practice in Canberra in 1967. It is known as an organic style with a "deep roof overhang" and concrete floors with tiles laid to absorb the northerly sun.
The front section of the home contains 3 bedrooms with a bathroom, while the main bedroom is on the upper level with a walk-in robe area and ensuite. This bedroom has an open plan design with a north-facing outlook through a wall of glass.
The kitchen and family rooms are joined and highly functional for families. Timber and glass doors allow access to the paved outdoor entertaining area and secure access to the swimming pool. Down a short flight of steps there is a large dining room and beyond that a formal living area with a large open fire-place and high ceilings. This area again opens onto a sunny, beautifully designed north facing paved, private courtyard with attractive plantings. The gardens around the home are filled with a variety of vegetables, flowering shrubs, fruit trees and again, absolute privacy.
Comments by Sharron Battisson, Director of Architecture: " Number 14 Fergusson Crescent is a superb example of the organic style modernist architecture originally made famous by Frank Lloyd Wright. The property employs all the skill that ensures Laurie Virr's work remains unrivalled in the Australian architectural landscape today".
Designed to capture natural light, ventilation and endless garden vistas, the spaces flow naturally and provide effortless connection between indoor and outdoor rooms. To live in it will be to experience the joy of living within a remarkable piece of organic style modernist architecture.
