No verification items generated for this record.
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 was queried and no heritage listed area was detected on this parcel (NSW ePlanning Spatial Viewer, retrieved 31 Aug 2026). Mapped layers change — this is the strongest all-clear Districts can give, not a certificate.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
NSWZoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 666 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. If the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check, this lot can outperform a same-suburb house that is hold-as-is only. That is not a forecast. 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. 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 $766/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.
Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.
Verdict
Districts view
This looks more compelling as a land / capital-growth play than a pure yield play — if the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check.
Detail
Zoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 666 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.
Achieved rent for this address has not been inferred. Gross yield on advertising copy is not the deal.
Nearby DA pipeline is unknown, so neighbourhood change is not in this verdict.
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 Low Density Residential · R2 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 666 m².

Nearby development pipeline
UnknownNSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.
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. Official bond files (postcode or suburb × type × bedrooms) are not loaded yet.
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 666 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
UnknownNSW Valuer General land values are not loaded for this property yet.
Net yield / holding costs
UnknownNSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

Listing material

This is the ultimate beach house location, stroll across the road to patrolled surf, Mylo's Cafe, our fabulous cave and stunning nearby rock pools.
Expect killer coastline views, directly east to the ocean, across Caves Beach's beautiful sand and surf to the North East, all the way through to beautiful Moon Island and beyond to The Bay!
Promising single level, open plan living to the backyard and a big back deck, there's views from all the living, the open style kitchen, and the master bedroom.
With 3 bedrooms on this main single level to the backyard, the bathroom and separate toilet have been tastefully renovated.
Bought by a builder, because of the screaming potential, the owners had big plans for the property, and someone is going to get to live their dream and thank them every day for the opportunity!
Downstairs has been completely overhauled to create a fabulous 1 to 2 bedroom, fully self contained guest house, ideal for Air BNB or in law accommodation, or that boomerang adult kid who won't leave home.
The home has been almost doubled in size and extended out the back, and completely opened up inside, now enjoying a lovely new back deck and a detached office or 5th bedroom option, with ample off street parking, garaging, workshop and storage options.
Set back from the road, there is so much potential to go forward and create massive garaging, with massive overhead decking and a to die for master suite, with killer views, and last but not least there's the potential to go up as well subject of course to council approval.
Right now though, this home is an incredibly livable, easy and breezy beach house, that would make the ideal holiday home, or 365 days of the year lifestyle property for anyone with a passion for surf, sand, national park hiking and biking trails, with a quiet seaside village cafe culture and various watering holes to keep everyone happy!
