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.

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.
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
QLDZoned Low density residential (City Plan). Official parcel area about 1,006 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.” 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
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $792/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.

Development optionality of this lot
KnownmediumZoned Low density residential (City Plan). Official parcel area about 1,006 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 1,006 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

Listing material
Listed by Ivy RealtyAuction TBC | All Offers Encouraged Prior
Positioned on what is arguably one of Runaway Bay's most irreplaceable waterfront landholdings, this extraordinary residence occupies a truly one-of-one offering, the only known single waterfront allotment in Runaway Bay spanning over 1,000sqm with approximately 61 metres of water frontage.
Set on a commanding north-facing corner position with only one direct neighbouring property, the home enjoys an incredible sense of scale, openness and privacy rarely seen on the northern Gold Coast. Elevated above the canal with sweeping water views from almost every angle, the residence captures cooling breezes, all-day natural light and a level of waterfront presence that simply cannot be replicated under today's subdivision and planning constraints.
Constructed to an outstanding standard with longevity and structural integrity front of mind, the residence showcases concrete block construction, steel-framed internal walls and extra-thick concrete foundations, a calibre of construction seldom seen in modern homes. Elevated positioning further enhances both the outlook and practicality of the home, while soaring three-metre ceilings throughout create an immediate feeling of volume, airflow and light.
At the centre of the home, the spacious kitchen, living and dining areas overlook the water and provide exceptional functionality for families and entertainers alike. Multiple living zones offer flexibility for multi-generational living, working from home or accommodating guests in complete comfort.
The downstairs level comprises four generous bedrooms, including a substantial waterfront master retreat complete with ensuite and sunroom. Upstairs offers an incredibly versatile private retreat currently configured as a home office with two additional bedroom spaces, while also providing flexibility to be utilised as a media room, wellness retreat, guest accommodation or private living zone depending on lifestyle requirements.
A holding of this nature is extraordinarily rare, not simply because of the home itself, but because opportunities to secure a single waterfront block of this size, scale and frontage in Runaway Bay are virtually non-existent.
Property Features Include:
- Arguably the only single waterfront allotment in Runaway Bay with over 1,000sqm and approximately 61 metres of water frontage
- Rare north-facing corner position with sweeping dual-canal frontage
- Elevated residence with expansive water views and cooling breezes
- Private pontoon with exceptional boating flexibility
- Solid concrete block construction with steel-framed internal walls
- Extra-thick concrete foundations built for longevity
- Soaring three-metre ceilings throughout
- Four spacious downstairs bedrooms including waterfront master suite
- Multiple living and entertaining zones across both levels
- Expansive upstairs retreat with office, media room and wellness space
- Covered waterfront entertaining terraces
- Opposite waterfront parklands in a tightly held position
- Minutes to the Broadwater and northern Gold Coast lifestyle amenities
Within walking distance to a wide range of local amenities including the Runaway Bay Sports Complex, incorporating the Gold Coast Performance Centre, indoor sports facilities, cricket, tennis and netball clubs, sporting fields, cycling and walking tracks. Also nearby are St Francis Xavier and Biggera Waters State School, library, childcare centre, church, Runaway Bay Shopping Centre and Harbour Town.
Offering an exceptional boating lifestyle with quick access to the Broadwater by boat, while remaining only a short drive from the Gold Coast University Hospital, Griffith University, the Gold Coast's renowned beaches and easy M1 access connecting Brisbane and Coolangatta.
