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.
The official layer maps a heritage listed area on this parcel, intersecting about 99.8% of it (Vicmap Planning, retrieved 31 Aug 2026). Verify the extent against the title before relying on unaffected land.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
VICZoned GENERAL RESIDENTIAL ZONE - SCHEDULE 1 · GRZ1 (ZN). Official parcel area about 550 m². Dual occupancy looks constrained by site overlays or terrain. Two-lot subdivision looks unlikely on the loaded constraints. 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.” Heritage constraint may block demolition or dual occupancy even on a large block. Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. The listing may look cheap relative to land or the street. What reduces it: HERITAGE OVERLAY (HO164); DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY - SCHEDULE 11; VEGETATION PROTECTION OVERLAY - SCHEDULE 2. Pay house money or walk — do not pay site money until a planner confirms a pathway through this stack. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $433/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. Heritage constraints are a maintenance and alteration cost, not usually a rent premium by themselves.
Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown. 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
Loaded constraints look like they kill a naive land-size story. Pay house money, or walk, until a planner confirms a pathway.
Detail
The listing may look cheap relative to land or the street. What reduces it: HERITAGE OVERLAY (HO164); DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY - SCHEDULE 11; VEGETATION PROTECTION OVERLAY - SCHEDULE 2. Pay house money or walk — do not pay site money until a planner confirms a pathway through this stack.
Nearby competing dwellings and net yield are still unknown.
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 BallaratEvery now and then an opportunity presents itself that should not be ignored. 1509 Sturt Street is clearly one of these.
Built in the 1930s and located in a prime position amongst some of Ballarat's best homes, this classic property boasts many fine period features and yet lends itself to a sympathetic renovation and enhancement which would see it's full potential come to life.
As you enter the home via the front door you are welcomed into a spacious and grand entrance hall, with stunning timber floors and double doors to the left and right leading to two living rooms, currently a dining room and formal living room respectively. Both rooms have gas log fireplaces, bay windows and original period features galore and could be used in a multitude of ways.
The kitchen adjoins the lounge room and features a 900mm freestanding cooker and an island workbench.
Also on the ground floor is a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a utility room and laundry.
Upstairs the home offers three additional bedrooms - two of generous size and one smaller - ideal as a nursery or study along with a bathroom servicing all bedrooms. As is typical of the style and era there are lots of storage spaces cleverly tucked away into otherwise wasted space.
Outside, the fun really starts! A stunning in-ground pool is overlooked by an elevated, vine-covered gazebo which opens onto the back garden. A dual purpose garage and outdoor entertaining area adjacent to the pool ensure plenty of undercover space for socializing with family and friends.
Set on 688 sqm of prime real estate, this is a home worthy of your consideration if you are looking to establish yourself in one of the best locations in Ballarat.
