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.

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
SAZoned Established Neighbourhood · EN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 891 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. 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.
3 of 10 questions answered so far
Development optionality of this lot
KnownlowZoned Established Neighbourhood · EN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 891 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 891 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
UnknownNet yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Listing material
Listed by Ray White NorwoodWith its wide, tree-lined streets home to charming historic abodes such as this gorgeous 4-bedroom stone-fronted red brick bungalow, and an enviable position halfway between Adelaide's bustling city centre and the tranquil surrounds of several national parks, it's no wonder Colonel Light Gardens is such a sought-after suburb by sophisticated buyers who know a good investment when they see it.
Tucked well back from the street behind an attractive fence, trimmed hedges, leafy trees and lush lawn, this property is impressive from the get-go - but it's the character home that is the centrepiece. Here, classic features like open fireplaces and glossy original timber floorboards are showcased through the spacious front rooms, blending effortlessly with a contemporary extension out back that's added valuable social space - including an elegant kitchen, a study and a fourth bedroom - to an already expansive footprint.
Ducted AC is among the home's modern upgrades, keeping most bedrooms, as well as the open-plan kitchen, dining area and family room out back, comfortable year-round. Elsewhere, rooms are fan-cooled, with a stunning original open fireplace in the front living space and a more contemporary, but still charming, combustion heater chosen to keep toes toasty in the rear family room.
Of the four bedrooms, the front-facing master and the new addition out back have ensuites. The master's is super-sized and boasts a corner spa bath and separate shower, with this retreat also equipped with a walk-in robe. The back bedroom's ensuite is two-way, opening onto a vine-covered rear pergola, creating what could be a handy teen's retreat. While they're young though, your little ones will be in raptures with the oasis that's out back - a verdant green space with loads of lawn to set up trampolines and play equipment, and shady nooks to while away sunny days in dreamy imagination!
Dragging yourself away from this Eden won't be easy but when work, school or the need for a city or Hills' trip calls, it's reassuring to know everywhere is nearby. A short walk will get you to the local primary school and Mitcham train station, or zip out from the double garage or under the carport and be at Mitcham Shopping Centre, Unley High or Belair National Park all in well under 10 minutes.
