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 648 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 (Decision Made) Latest lodgement recorded 2022-10-04. 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 $580/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 648 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 648 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 OCJust when you think it's another classic Colonel Light Gardens Bungalow, this C1926 beauty revels a rear addition to savour and private rear reserve access you never see coming on its prized south-north plot with side access to top it all off.
With up to four equally spacious bedrooms within its original footprint, polished timber floors underfoot, two gorgeous family-sized bathrooms, a rear shed and lofty ceilings that vault for the heavens at its vast, extended rear; this is a character home that doesn't settle for ordinary…in one very special suburb.
Open the door to:
⁃ A picture-perfect bungalow that keeps its classic street presence before revealing a rear addition that lifts the home far beyond what you expect from a C1926 footprint.
⁃ A flexible layout that offers three large bedrooms plus a formal lounge, or four bedrooms if needed, each with generous proportions and period character intact.
⁃ Lofty, light-grabbing ceilings that soar in the extended rear living zone, creating a sense of scale and calm that feels more like a contemporary pavilion than an old bungalow.
⁃ Polished timber floors, decorative touches and a warm, timeless palette anchoring the original rooms with unmistakable Colonel Light Gardens charm.
⁃ A modern open-plan kitchen with stone benchtops, European appliances, a breakfast bar and easy connection to the dining and family spaces.
⁃ Two beautifully updated bathrooms sized for families, blending functionality with an elevated, considered aesthetic.
⁃ Fold down ladder to allow access to the large loft storage area.
⁃ A covered outdoor entertaining zone that connects seamlessly to the rear living area for weekend lunches, long dinners and everything between.
⁃ Private rear access to the reserve that feels like your own secret garden extension, rare even for Colonel Light Gardens.
⁃ Side access for practical everyday living, from parking to gardening to moving things with ease.
⁃ Established, well-landscaped gardens front and back, framing the home in greenery and offering plenty of space for kids, pets or quiet early evenings outdoors.
⁃ A location near Mitcham Railway Station, multiple bus routes, Mitcham Square, Scotch College and leafy local parks including Mortlock Park, stitching lifestyle and convenience into the daily rhythm
Close the door on:
⁃ Settling for dated character. The polished floors, upgraded bathrooms and modern kitchen bring comfort and heritage into the same frame.
⁃ Living in disconnected spaces. The rear family pavilion creates one flowing hub where cooking, dining and relaxing all work together.
⁃ Feeling short on green space. Private rear access to the reserve gives you a quiet escape that feels like your own.
Character homes, big blocks, green spaces and leafy, sweeping streets define this amenity-rich suburb within a moment of Mitcham Square, train stops, quaint cafes, Colonel Light Gardens Primary School, Scotch College, the coast and CBD. Special indeed.
