No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
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.

Planning
Planning data is being calculated
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
NSWPlanning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet. 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.
Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $639/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. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet. 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. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.
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.

18 Motum Ave has a unique and sought after advantage - whilst the main access is off Motum Ave; there an additional rear lane access off Motum Lane. The rear of the property has an automatic gate where you will find a single garage as well as extra parking space for the 'toys'.

The dining room has built-in-cabinetry in a sage green, which flows through to the outdoor undercover entertaining area looking out over the calming green garden space. You can easily imagine hosting family lunches or just enjoying a few drinks after a day on the beach.
There are three bedrooms in total. Two of the bedrooms could accommodate a queen bed while the third is a smaller size (double bed). The bathroom has been completely renovated and is stunning in its presentation. There is a clever contrast between the blue pattern of the floor tiles and the dark tiling on the walls; the shower is hob-less with a rain shower-head; the vanity features a floating basin while all the hardware is of a Black Matte finish.
There is another bonus!! Off the back entertaining area is another utility space. On the left corner is the laundry, while another 8.5sqm of additional space is available, that could be perfect for a home office, a gymnasium area or just an additional guest accommodation when the extras arrive. You need to be prepared for plenty of visitors when you have such a place in paradise.
Even though the lot is 458sqm, the back yard offers plenty of recreational green space, remembering there is still the garage and shed that opens to the rear laneway.
The home offers so many extras: slow combustion stove, air conditioning, ceiling fans, floating shelves & built in cabinetry. Mature trees, some natives as well as edible plants combine to make this home feel like it's a little Oasis.
