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.

Capital growth

QLD

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: medium

Zoned Low density residential · LDR (Brisbane City Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 1,067 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.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

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. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $762/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.

What competition will it face?

Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. 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.

What does the yield actually look like?

Confidence: low

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

What this means for this property

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

What is known for this property

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

    Knownmedium

    Zoned Low density residential · LDR (Brisbane City Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 1,067 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.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

  • Honest achievable rent

    Knownlow

    This 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

    Unknown

    Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.

  • Why is this cheap?

    Knownmedium

    Official parcel about 1,067 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

    Unknown

    Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

  • Catalyst exposure

    Unknown

    Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

  • This lot's DA history

    Unknown

    No DA adapter returned applications for this parcel.

  • Statutory land value versus ask

    Unknown

    Statutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Listing material

Listed by Place New Farm

A Significant Heritage Federation Estate on 1,062sqm in a Premier Location

On a broad 1,062sqm parcel within one of Graceville's most established riverside streets stands a residence of scale and documented provenance. Known as Koorong, this home was built circa 1914 for John Gilligan, Chief Hansard Reporter for the Queensland Parliament, and his wife Ruth Gilligan, a journalist. Today it remains a rare and private holding with a 22-metre frontage, framed by established gardens and greenery.

Its Federation character reveals itself in every detail, from the pitched terracotta roofline and deep wraparound verandahs to the timber weatherboards and stained glass that catches the light. A lasting sense of craftsmanship underpins the home's authenticity.

Inside, the scale is immediately felt. A central hallway draws you forward beneath soaring ceilings, decorative cornices and breezeways. VJ walls and timber floors create warmth and continuity. The main living room, anchored by a striking fireplace, feels both intimate and substantial. French doors open wide to the verandahs, welcoming cross breezes and allowing the home to expand effortlessly outdoors.

Read the full description

The semi open plan dining and kitchen extends to a private verandah overlooking the expansive lawn and pool. The galley style kitchen is both practical and inviting, with generous cabinetry and bench space, complemented by a gas cooktop, electric oven and dishwasher, and positioned to remain connected to the rhythm of daily life.

Accommodation comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms. The main suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and private ensuite. Three bedrooms open directly onto verandahs, while one features a built-in bay window seat forming a charming reading nook. The main bathroom is well appointed with quality fittings, supporting family living with ease.

The level backyard is framed by mature shade trees, creating privacy and depth rarely found this close to the river. The swimming pool sits within clear view of the home, bordered by lawn for both relaxation and supervision. Additional features enhance everyday comfort and practicality. Air conditioning supports year-round comfort, while the under-house area provides a laundry, workshop and storage room. Side access, off street and garage parking, along with rainwater tanks, enhance overall functionality.

Graceville's riverside pocket remains tightly held, valued for its established streetscape, heritage protections and strong owner occupier presence. River walks, parklands, village cafes and rail are within easy reach, with the CBD approximately 10 kilometres away. A landholding of this scale, combined with a Federation residence of local heritage significance, represents an increasingly rare offering within Brisbane's inner west.

Opportunities to secure a holding of this size and historical significance in such a tightly held location are uncommon. We welcome your inspection of Koorong today.
