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.
The official layer was queried and no bushfire risk zone was detected on this parcel (Landgate SLIP, retrieved 31 Aug 2026). Mapped layers change — this is the strongest all-clear Districts can give, not a certificate.
The official layer was queried and no heritage listed area was detected on this parcel (Landgate SLIP, 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
WAWA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 682 m² — that is not official geometry. A suburb median or growth rate is not a reason this particular lot would outperform. 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.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $578/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. Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property. 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. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.
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.
2 of 10 questions answered so far
Development optionality of this lot
UnknownWA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 682 m² — that is not official geometry.
Nearby development pipeline
UnknownNearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
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 684 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
UnknownStatutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.
Net yield / holding costs
UnknownNet yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Listing material
Listed by The Agency Perth**END DATE SALE - Offers close Monday 1st of Dec unless sold prior**
Some homes stand out not for what they are, but for what they could become. 17 Mersey Road is one of those places. Sitting just a few homes back from the beach, it captures the sound of the waves, the soft coastal light, and the promise of a home that can be shaped entirely to your vision. The location does most of the work, with ocean views from the upper level, a quiet street that is protected from the weather, and a neighbourhood that values its connection to the sea. This is a property with solid bones and real potential for transformation.
Where It All Happens
Set in the heart of Shoalwater, this property is only moments from the shoreline and within walking distance of the calm waters of the Shoalwater Islands Marine Park. The area is known for its relaxed pace, family-friendly beaches, and easy access to Penguin Island and nearby coastal trails. Local cafés, schools, and shops are close by, while Rockingham's town centre is only a few minutes away. It is the kind of setting that combines everyday convenience with a true coastal lifestyle, one that continues to grow in demand for both families and investors.
The Details That Matter
Built in 1978, the home includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms across 216 square metres of internal space on a 682 square metre block. There is a single garage and an oversized double garage with a self-contained games room and kitchenette above it. The space could easily be used as a studio, guest retreat, or future Airbnb suite. The property is being sold as is, where is, making it an ideal renovation or rebuild project. From the upper level, the ocean is visible, reminding you just how close you are to the beach and why this location is worth investing in.
Who It's Made For
This home will appeal to anyone who understands the value of location and vision. Renovators and builders will appreciate the strong foundation and generous block. Families may choose to update the existing structure into a coastal home that suits modern living. Downsizers can design something low-maintenance and stylish while staying close to the sea. Investors will recognise the demand for short-stay accommodation in Shoalwater, where the lifestyle and setting attract steady interest.
The Bottom Line
17 Mersey Road offers a rare mix of location, space, and potential. It is a renovation or rebuild opportunity that sits one street back from the beach with views that confirm its value. Whether you modernise what is already here or start fresh with a new design, the result will be a home that captures everything Shoalwater is known for. Quiet streets, ocean air, and a setting that continues to hold strong long-term appeal.
