No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
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.

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 30 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 812 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 $718/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 812 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.

Listing material
Listed by Presence Real EstateThis character-rich home is the opportunity you have been looking for to settle in the beautiful community of Boolaroo with its golden age movie cinema, quirky cafes, stores, train and bus stops- check out the funky Hippy Java and the Honey Emporium - friendly neighbours and, of course, its idyllic location – just 2 minute drive to the shores of Lake Macquarie.
This gorgeous home has a rich history, having been relocated to Boolaroo from Maitland in 2013. After it was settled in its new location, on its solid new foundations, everything but the frame of the original home was updated – electrical wiring, plumbing, windows, doors, gyprock - you name it – all brand new. The custom hardwood floors were pieced together with great care, the layout was updated to include an open plan kitchen/dining/living area and design details including 4 step cornices, high ceilings, picture rails and loft storage complete with ladder access were all added.
Picture yourself in the morning taking time to linger over your coffee on the front porch perched on a comfy couch or sipping a chardonnay in the afternoon as the sun sinks low. When friends come to visit or the family drops by the back verandah is the perfect place to while away the hours. Weekends are made for the water. Jump in the car and be at the lake in literally 2 minutes – tow the boat or bring the stand-up paddle board or kayaks for the kids. Then head home to freshen up and complete the day with dinner at the iconic Pippis as the sun sinks over the lake. This lifestyle is just bliss and it could be yours – no need to decide between sweet country town or life by the lake. This gorgeous home offers both!

-Hardwood front porch – a beautiful spot to curl up with a book

Why is this cheap?
