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.

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 349 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 $700/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 349 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.

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?
KnownmediumNo 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.

Listing material
Listed by Wilton Lemke StewartCompleted in 2023, this near-new dual-occupancy property delivers something genuinely rare in Cardiff: two separate, self-contained homes on a single Torrens title. Whether you're an investor chasing dual rental income, a family wanting independence for teenagers or ageing parents, or a buyer wanting to live in one and rent the other, this property is built for flexibility most listings can't offer.
16 Pine Avenue is the main residence — a light-filled, dual-level family home with a spacious open-plan kitchen, living and dining area downstairs, opening through sliding doors to a covered alfresco and low-maintenance backyard. The kitchen is finished with stone benchtops, gas cooking, a breakfast bar and ample storage. Upstairs, four generous bedrooms include a master with ensuite and built-in wardrobe, serviced by a stylish family bathroom with separate bath and shower. A downstairs powder room, internal laundry, reverse-cycle air conditioning, ceiling fans, solar panels and a remote single garage with internal access round out the home.
16a Pine Avenue is a fully self-contained second dwelling with its own kitchen, bathroom and private entrance — completely independent from the main house. It's currently leased separately, making this an ideal setup for multigenerational living, a teenager or adult child wanting their own space, or straightforward rental income.
Current combined rental return: $1,390 per week (16 Pine — $830pw / 16a Pine — $560pw), making this one of Cardiff's stronger dual-income opportunities for investors, or a way for owner-occupiers to materially offset their mortgage from day one.
Property highlights:
- Two self-contained dwellings on one Torrens title — 16 and 16a Pine Avenue
- Combined current rental return of $1,390 per week
- 16: four bedrooms, master with ensuite, open-plan living, stone kitchen, alfresco, remote single garage
- 16a: independent kitchen, bathroom and entrance — ideal for tenants, extended family, or older kids
- Reverse-cycle air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout
- Solar panel system and rainwater tank servicing laundry and garden taps
- Downstairs powder room, internal laundry, under-stair and additional storage
- Completed 2023 — near-new condition with minimal maintenance required
- Convenient Cardiff location
