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

Council site reportSource
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.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
SAZoned Established Neighbourhood · EN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 635 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.” Street frontage and true lot geometry are not confirmed without open cadastre. Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. 1 development application on this parcel. Code Assessed - Performance Assessed (Under Assessment) Latest lodgement recorded 2026-04-22. These are this lot’s applications, not the neighbourhood pipeline. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $602/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. 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.
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.
4 of 10 questions answered so far
Development optionality of this lot
KnownlowZoned Established Neighbourhood · EN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 635 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
UnknownNearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.
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 635 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

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

Listing material
Listed by OCAuction Sat, 16th May - 10am (USP)
Sitting pretty on a Malvern no-through road, this stone-fronted Villa on 676 glorious square metres has watched multiple generations of the one family enjoy its enduring beauty, periodic updates, vast main rooms, underground cellar and a backyard with its sights set on a bold addition.
Not that there's any rush to extend this recently updated 3-bedroom home with engineered timber floors, fresh carpets, updated lighting, ultra-functional eat-in kitchen, split ac and plentiful off-street parking.
Drop your bags and get busy living. Plot something special with your architect when you're good and ready. A villa with so much more to give.
Open the Door To:
• A stone-fronted Malvern classic with the bones, breadth and north-facing disposition to enjoy now, extend later and grow into something even more special on its deep 676sqm parcel
• A symmetrical five-main-room floorplan with a long central hall, decorative arch, leadlight entry and the kind of proportions only a true villa delivers
• A sunny front lounge with timber-lined walls, decorative ceilings and a warm northern aspect
• Three large bedrooms with flexibility to rework one as a second living space, study or home office
• Engineered timber floors, fresh carpets and updated lighting that sharpen the home without dulling its character
• An ultra-functional eat-in kitchen with gas cooking, strong storage and room for daily meals
• A neat bathroom with separate bath and shower, plus a separate laundry with direct outdoor access
• A substantial underground cellar that adds storage, utility and a little intrigue below ground
• A deep rear yard with lawn, established gardens and clear scope for a bold addition when the time feels right
• A long side driveway, secure garage and plentiful off-street parking
• Split system air conditioning for immediate everyday comfort
• A quiet no-through-road setting in blue-chip Malvern
Close the Door On:
• Character homes that need too much work before they can be lived in properly. This one already has the key updates in place, so any bigger plans can wait
• Compromised parking arrangements that turn every arrival into a shuffle. The long driveway and secure garage keep things simple
• Homes that run out of utility the moment life gets busier. Between the cellar, garage, side access and broad rear yard, this one has far more practical depth than first impressions suggest
Its position is every bit as compelling as the home itself, tucked into a quiet no-through pocket of Malvern where blue-chip calm meets genuine day-to-day convenience. From here, the cafe, dining and shopping pull of Duthy Street, Unley Road and King William Road all sit within easy reach, while quality schooling is a major drawcard too, with the property in the Highgate School and Unley High School catchments and close to Walford Anglican School for Girls and Concordia College; the CBD remains only a short run from home. Settle in. Stay forever.
