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
WAWA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 900 m² — that is not official geometry. 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 $566/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. No recorded off-street parking — often a discount versus the suburb median for the same beds.
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 Merrifield Real EstateWith property prices still soaring and affordable blocks becoming scarce, this parcel of land has to be one of the best buys around at the moment.
It is convenient to an array of different services, including schools, shops, entertainment, fuel and liquor outlets, yet the peaceful location it enjoys, surrounded by trees and stands of natural bush, makes it feel like it's many miles away from the hustle and bustle of city living.
The generous 901 sqm residential lot with an incredible 32m street frontage is relatively level and cleared, except for a screen of remnant vegetation across the front, and it already has deep sewerage connections present for not one, but two, homes. Scheme water, electricity and telecommunications have been provided to the site. There is an existing crossover and driveway on to the land and a verge upgrade fee to the City of Albany has already been paid for. It is also fully fenced around the sides and rear and nestled between established housing.
There's plenty of space here for a sizeable home, a shed and gardens, while still having a back yard large enough for the kids and pets to spread their wings. Imagine being able to build the home of your dreams, tailored to perfectly suit your needs, including your choice of design, fixtures, finishings and appliances. Most importantly you can create the space YOU want for your family's lifestyle and entertaining friends. This site is particularly well suited to those who need wide vehicle access to the rear for storing a caravan, boat, trailer, horse float or extra vehicles of any height, a feature that is often very hard to come by in this price range.
Alternatively, as this block is zoned R20, you might consider subdividing the land in to two Green Title lots. Most of the hard work for subdivision has already been completed and with all of the essential services now available to the site, it could be split right down the middle, without the need for any common property or shared driveway (subject to the approval of relevant authorities). This would allow you to build two dwellings, side by side, each on their own separate Title. Such a scenario offers the exciting prospect of being able to build a brand new home for yourself on one lot and a second house as a rental property on the other lot – and this is the ideal arrangement if you want to keep a close eye on your valuable investment just next door. The second dwelling could also be used as residence for extended family such as aging parents or grandparents, who perhaps may need some assistance to live independently, either now or in to the future. The other option is for you to capitalize on the huge demand for established housing in Albany and build both homes for rental purposes.
Situated in a high growth suburb that is rapidly expanding and expected to have more services available to it in the near future, it is already close to everything you and your family will need to live a comfortable and full life, and is convenient to the highway for direct access in to the CBD. As it is not part of a large scale subdivision, it has the added bonus of still being surrounded by trees and other greenery in the neighbourhood, adding to the peaceful and relaxing ambiance of the location.
You'll struggle to find better value real estate in Albany than this rare parcel of land.
