Nothing about this record stands out yet — coverage may still be filling in.
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.

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
ACTZoned RZ1 (FARRER). Official parcel area about 1,169 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. Zoning and lot facts are a starting point, not proof this lot outperforms the suburb. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $450/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.
3 of 10 questions answered so far
Development optionality of this lot
KnownmediumZoned RZ1 (FARRER). Official parcel area about 1,169 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.
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?
KnownmediumOfficial parcel about 1,169 m² — land size can look like optionality. No material overlays were returned that would explain a discount. That is not proof the price is fair. Nearby DAs, easements, and flood-layer gaps can still explain a cheap-looking listing — those are not all loaded.
Lot-level flood
UnknownFlood overlay has not been queried for this lot. 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
UnknownNo DA adapter returned applications 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.
Net yield / holding costs
UnknownNet yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Listing material
Listed by Blackshaw ManukaBeing able to accommodate all the family's needs as it grows and adapting to the changing dynamics of everyone's requirements, is an important consideration when choosing a home. That is why this outstanding residence will allow those needs to be met over many years to come.
Well screened from the street, on entering the home you will marvel at the warmth of the stunning grey ironbark solid timber flooring to the hallway. A formal lounge, with the timber flooring, and separate dining room flows through to the open plan, tiled and light-filled family and meals area which opens out through glass stacker doors to a large covered entertaining area. The renovated kitchen offers glass splash backs, rangehood, pantry, pull out drawer for garbage collection, Miele gas cooktop, electric oven, and a dishwasher.
All the bedrooms are spacious and have built in robes. The ensuite and main bathrooms are renovated. The laundry room, also renovated, has plenty of storage cupboards and a clothes dryer.
On the lower level you will find a multi-purpose room with a built-in bookcase and access via a sliding glass door to the front garden. This could be used as a rumpus room for teenage children or a quiet area for a home office or study. There is an adjacent storage room with shelving and under the stairs, wine racks have been installed.
One of the many outstanding features of this home is the large, covered timber deck which overlooks the back garden. This "all year round" entertaining area has three gas bayonets, ceiling fan, lighting, and gates to ensure small children and pets are contained. It is an outstanding feature in the home where you can enjoy family gatherings now that daylight saving is in place and the Christmas/New Year holidays are fast approaching.
The large back garden has plenty of room for a game of cricket or soccer and for the younger members of the family, a cubby house for them to make their own. A separate well screened, paved utility area is located by the side of the garage for the washing line. There are also gates on either side of the property.
Car accommodation is provided by a separate brick garage with remote controlled door.
This location is so convenient with a short stroll to Farrer Primary School and public transport on Lambrigg Street. The Farrer shops offer an IGA Xpress, a Nepalese restaurant, cafes, and petrol station. Of course, the Southlands Shopping Centre with its Park and Ride, Woden Town Centre, the Canberra Hospital, Melrose High School, and Marist College are also within a short driving distance.
The suburb of Farrer was named on 12 May 1966, after William James Farrer, who had lived in the area late in the 19th century, making a significant contribution to wheat-breeding in New South Wales by producing climate species, thus extending the wheat-belt and enabling the breeding of resistant wheat. The suburb's streets are named after agriculturalists, except for Lambrigg Street, which was the name of Farrer's property in Tharwa.
It is next to the suburbs of Torrens, Mawson, Isaacs and the Tuggeranong suburb of Wanniassa. It is bordered by Beasley Street, Athllon Drive, and Yamba Drive. Farrer is in proximity to Southlands Shopping Centre at Mawson and Woden Plaza in Phillip, only 4.2 kilometres away. Canberra Hospital in Garran is nearer still, at 3.8 kilometres. The Farrer Ridge Nature Reserve, part of the Canberra Nature Park, provides for bushwalking and stunning vistas.
