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.

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 General Neighbourhood · GN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 623 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 $596/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 General Neighbourhood · GN (Planning and Design Code). Official parcel area about 623 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 623 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
KnownmediumNo development applications were returned for this parcel. That is not a statement about nearby lots.
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 OCOozing that classic 1970s architectural verve and the zest of a full-scale renovation; this solar-powered, feel-good home with the option of a self-contained apartment within it is a far-cry from the ordinary, just steps from The Heights School and vast green space.
Raked timber beamed ceilings, expansive glazing, slick wet areas and a free-flowing three-bedroom plan that subtly splits its levels and settles around a central and social kitchen headline this pristine home with a serene garden setting and rear deck. It's good to be home.
Open the Door To:
⁃ A simple, workable floorplan that places the living room, meals area and kitchen in one connected rear-facing zone
⁃ A wing complete with its own ensuite and kitchenette to create a studio, teen retreat, guest bedroom or multi-generational living option
⁃ A central kitchen and meals zone that links the living room, rear deck and garden, with updated cabinetry, timber-look benchtops and stainless steel appliances
⁃ Slick wet areas that lift the whole home, including a renovated main bathroom with freestanding bath, black tapware, timber-look vanity, plant-filled styling and a calm, contemporary finish
⁃ Outdoor space that gives the home room to breathe, from the covered rear deck and pergola to the generous gardens, tool and garden sheds, rainwater tank and those serene hills glimpses beyond the roofline
⁃ Solar power and battery storage, an alarm system with sensors, day-night window coverings and a renovated laundry, adding the practical backbone behind the feel-good finish
Close the Door On:
⁃ Properties that feel boxed in, with garden outlooks, rear deck connection and Adelaide Hills views giving the home a more open outlook
⁃ Juggling cars on the street. The double carport, broad driveway and extra front lawn bay give the property genuine capacity for cars, a caravan, trailer or work vehicle
⁃ The standard three-bedroom formula. Bedroom 3's ensuite and kitchenette give the home a valuable second mode, whether that means multi-gen living, guest accommodation, teen space or a private work zone
Set at the foot of Adelaide's north-eastern hills, its easy reach to The Heights School, local reserves, bus stops, Tea Tree Plaza, Modbury Hospital, Hope Valley Reservoir and the O-Bahn make Modbury Heights a practical pocket with a quieter, soul-soothing edge. Settle in.
