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
TASPlanning 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 $584/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.

Listing material
Listed by Harcourts Signature RosnyTucked quietly at the end of an elevated cul-de-sac, surrounded by native eucalyptus and alive with birds and wildlife, this warm and character-filled home offers something increasingly rare: a genuine sense of stillness, just minutes from the heart of Hobart.
Set on 822m², the home feels wonderfully immersed in nature. From almost every window, the bush becomes part of the view, creating the feeling of being outside even when you're tucked away indoors. Beyond the garden, unobstructed views stretch across the River Derwent towards Bruny Island, with ever-changing Tasmanian light and colour providing a spectacular backdrop each day.
And yet, this peaceful setting is remarkably connected. Howrah Beach, schools, cafés, shops, community facilities and sporting grounds are all within easy reach, while Hobart is around 10 minutes away and the airport around 15 minutes.
Inside, the home has a warm, timeless character, with thoughtful touches that complement the comforts of modern living. High ceilings and exposed beams add to the sense of space and light, while the wood heater creates a warm and inviting heart to the home - perfect for gathering and entertaining as the seasons change.
There are four generous bedrooms, with three retaining their original hardwood built-in wardrobes, while the newly renovated bathroom brings a beautiful contemporary touch with elegant fittings, an antique pedestal basin and a deep cast-iron bath.
The original Blackwood kitchen retains its timeless 1980s character, complemented by contemporary appliances and an induction cooktop.
Downstairs, a versatile additional space currently functions as a large guest bedroom with its own WC and washroom. It could just as easily become a teenager's retreat, home office, library, studio or second living area, with potential to add a second bathroom.
Outside, the private, fully fenced garden has been intentionally designed with low-maintenance native planting and natural rockery, creating a peaceful extension of the surrounding bushland. Beyond the fence lies Bandicoot Bush Reserve, where wallabies, bandicoots and abundant birdlife are regular visitors.
A spacious lawn and two decked areas provide plenty of space to relax, entertain and take in the surrounding landscape, from the expansive lower deck to the elevated outlook of the upper balcony.
The home has been cherished by just two families since it was built in 1989, and there's a sense of warmth and history throughout. It is a home-made for slowing down, watching the light change across the river, listening to the birdlife and enjoying the rare feeling of being completely removed from the city while remaining so close to it.
