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 Public Recreation · RE1 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 757 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. 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
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.

Development optionality of this lot

Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.
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 757 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
Listed by SOLD Real EstateIf you've given up finding something you can afford in Caves Beach, today's your lucky day!
We finally have something that's not just great value for money, but also has so many kick arse features going for it too.
If you're a young couple, or family just getting started, or you're retirees looking to downsize, the single level nature of the home, and its terrific location are the first 2 items you can tick off your list.
Set in a quiet no through street, the neighbours are like-minded families and retirees, most of whom have lived here for years, and don't plan on going anywhere, because they love their quiet, tucked away position, where there's never any traffic or Nosey Parker's driving by.
The easy one level nature of the home is perfect whether you're young or old, it's easy on the legs, no matter what your age, from those who are battling to get around due to age or ill health, to little toddlers, taking their first tentative steps.
Ideal for kids, grandkids and puppies too, the modern kitchen spills out to a great second living area, and beyond to a really decent size backyard.
Investors and car, boat and caravan enthusiasts will appreciate the wonderfully wide street frontage, and the side access to the big backyard, with 2 street access potential, a future granny flat or mega garage is very much a possibility too!
Being brick and tile, it's nice and easy maintenance for retirees, investors and busy couples alike, with great potential to render or simply paint the exteriors, with a bit of imagination, you can go for a fantastic beach house classes look too, and we know come up a treat like 12 Braemar did, and it sold for $1,750,000!
Set on a fabulously level block, with minimal stairs, it's a short flat walk across the road to The Bay, and up the street to your choice of pre schools, primary schools and the local high school, with great cafe and shopping scenes at Swansea and Caves Beach, all easy strolling distance from home too.
Carpeted now, timber floorboards lie in wait of being rediscovered and shown off by astute owners, who love a real timber floor.
With so many different finishes available, go for a white washed coastal look, or a matte finish contemporary style, the options are truly incredible these days.
In terms of what's on offer now, you'll appreciate the modern kitchen, updated bathroom with separate toilet, spacious open living and rear second living overlooking the backyard.
You'll like the front to rear, open style, flowing living that spills out to second living out the back, overlooking a big and private backyard.
There's stacks of room out front to extend, with plenty of room out the back to add a pool, granny flat or big shed, or a combination, as your budget allows.
An attached garage could become part of the house as it's under the main roof and the laundry could easily become an ensuite or butler's pantry off your kitchen if the future.
Until then enjoy genuine lock up garage and carport for your important toys.
Currently rented to a friendly and easy going tenant, collect the rent, while you get organised to sell elsewhere or set up for work in the area.
At this price it's a terrific investment, with a big future ahead of her, bring your imagination and your deposit!
