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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.
Stamp duty and transfer fees: New South Wales schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Based on the low end of the asking range, not a contract price.
Pre-filled with Charlestown's advertised median rent — not a rent for this listing.
Gross yield is weekly rent × 52 ÷ price. Net yield subtracts operating expenses. Cashflow then subtracts interest-only interest on price × LVR. Tax, vacancies, and principal repayments are not included.
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
NSWPlanning 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.” 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 $692/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.
Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 3.3%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. 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.

Listing material
Listed by Harcourts NewcastleFrom this sub-penthouse position in GWH's Macquarie Tower, the ocean isn't just a distant glimpse, it's a defining part of the outlook. A prized north-easterly aspect and vast expanses of floor-to-ceiling glass frame sweeping views across Charlestown to the Pacific, with ships dotting the horizon, beautiful sunrises over the water and warm winter sunshine streaming inside. In the distance the evolving Newcastle city skyline adds another dimension, particularly as the lights begin to sparkle after dark.
Offering approximately 120sqm of living and alfresco space, the three-bedroom apartment has been designed to make the most of its elevation. Open plan living and dining wraps around the island kitchen, with glass on multiple sides creating an incredible sense of light and connection to the view. Step onto the main balcony and the panorama opens even further, while the main bedroom has its own private balcony capturing another superb ocean outlook, along with a walk-in robe and ensuite. Two additional bedrooms, main bathroom and internal laundry complete the layout.
A rare and highly sought-after advantage is the inclusion of three car spaces and two large storage cages, an exceptional offering for apartment living and a feature rarely found even in premium residences. With ample room for multiple vehicles, guests or additional lifestyle needs, together with substantial private storage, this is a level of convenience that truly sets the apartment apart.
As a resident, you'll also enjoy the private Oceanview Rooftop Garden, where an internal kitchen, outdoor barbecues and alfresco entertaining come with an impressive outlook, plus priority access to on-site childcare. Charlestown Square and the surrounding commercial, dining and leisure precinct are right on your doorstep, yet the coast and lake are remarkably close too. Redhead Beach is around 10 minutes away for a swim, surf or walk on the sand, while Warners Bay foreshore is equally handy for lakeside dining, coffee and a stroll or cycle by the water. Newcastle CBD is approximately 15 minutes from home.
