Districts View
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 $703/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.

Listing material
Listed by Presence Real EstateDesigned by award-winning architects SDA and completed in 2020, this Torrens title home is a confident expression of modern family living, where scale, detail, and craftsmanship all pull in the same direction.
Spanning three thoughtfully planned levels, the 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom layout delivers real flexibility with three separate living zones and a level of finish that feels considered rather than showy. Custom joinery runs throughout, high-end fixtures and appliances elevate the everyday, ducted a/c keeps things comfortable, and solar panels plus acoustic rear glazing add smart efficiency to the mix.
Upstairs, the main living zone is the standout. A soaring 4.25m cathedral ceiling with exposed trusses sets the tone, while integrated lighting and wide sliders connect seamlessly to the north-facing alfresco. Open the doors and the terrace becomes an extension of the living space, complete with a BBQ kitchen. It's the kind of space that makes relaxing or entertaining feel effortless.
The main bedroom is quietly positioned on the living level, tucked away from the social zones to create a genuine sense of retreat. Wall-to-wall storage keeps the space streamlined, while the ensuite adds everyday ease. On the entry level, excellent separation is on full display, with an additional living space, two bedrooms with built-in robes, and the family bathroom grouped together, making it an ideal setup for kids. Downstairs, the flexible basement level continues the theme of versatility, offering its own bathroom and private entry, perfect for a teen retreat, home office, guest suite, or even an Airbnb option.
Just five minutes from Merewether's surf beaches for morning swims, weekend surfs, and refreshing coastal walks, the location pairs laid-back beach living and everyday convenience. Merewether Public School, local parks, and the open greens of Merewether Golf Club are all close by. The Junction is roughly 1.3km away, lining up cafés, bars, boutiques, and Coles for easy daily errands or last-minute dinner plans. Add nearby bus routes and key arterial roads, and you're well placed for quick trips into the CBD and seamless access across greater Newcastle.
