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
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 $400/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 LJ Hooker KippaxPicture a cosy corner in Melba where a home that whispers stories of love, warmth, and the passage of time has stood tall since 1970. Nestled right at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this timeless residence has been cherished by only two owners in its over 50-year journey. This home is a gem.
The beautiful U-shaped driveway welcomes you, winding around lush greenery and established trees, offering a visual symphony from the front�a harmonious prelude to the life awaiting within. With a beautiful, recently oiled verandah provides the perfect spot to savour your morning coffee.
You're greeted by a sense of space that transcends the ordinary. With four bedrooms to explore, each room holds a unique charm. The master suite, a testament to thoughtful renovations, boasts a size that exceeds expectations, complete with built-in robes for your convenience.
The second bedroom, once the main haven of the home, stands generously sized, inviting you to create your own haven within its walls. The fourth bedroom, adorned with its very own sunroom, offers a versatile space that could be a rumpus, games room or teenagers retreat, seamlessly connecting to the back verandah through a sliding door. The central bathroom, a functional space with a connecting lobby and a separate toilet, adds practicality to the layout.
The heart of the home is a vast living space, where the dance of light and warmth is orchestrated by a wood fireplace, promising cosy winter evenings. The open-plan kitchen and dining area, meticulously designed, captures an abundance of natural light. The kitchen, adorned with timeless updates, features integrated appliances, including a dishwasher, harmoniously blending with the home's colour palette.
Step outside onto the raised back verandah, where panoramic views of the mountains unfold before you. This residence is not only a home but a powerhouse, fuelled by a 3-phase power supply and a roof area that could accommodate a 20kw solar system with the potential to expand to 30kw � a boon for those with trade ambitions or commercial-grade energy needs.
For the entertainers at heart, a double garage with a workshop at the back awaits on the right side of the home. Complete with a built-in bar and an outdoor fireplace, it's a space designed for laughter and good times.
The expansive 1524sqm block, with its well-shaped layout and dual side access, holds the promise of potential � be it an extension, a granny flat, or even a dual occupancy (subject to approvals).
