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 $711/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.

Listed by SOLD Real EstateThe Ultimate Very Pleasant Surprise Package ...
Rarely does an opportunity come up to live this close to the beach, and not have to do a single thing, in a price range you can afford, especially not one where there's also garaging galore!
So if you've been searching for the perfect downsize, or weekender by the beach, with room for all of your toys, and a cruisy, ready to rock and roll interior and exterior, where you can live and entertain in complete comfort from day 1, you are in luck!
Let's start with the obvious, the easy care brick and tile exterior, requires virtually no maintenance, leaving you time to enjoy the amazing lifestyle location, instead of doing year in, year out work around the house!
Wonderful for those wanting to be outdoors, enjoying the magic lifestyle on offer here, from being out on the water, on the ocean or The Lake, at the beach at the end of the street, on the sand or in the surf, at the almost next door to you golf course, or at the local, whether it's the local cafe, sipping a latte and catching up with friends, after a walk or bike ride, or the local watering hole, enjoying a cool beverage with mates, after a day's surfing or fishing.
Tucked away from the road, your privacy is assured, with amazing like minded, house proud neighbours adding to the appeal of this terrific property.
Just 380m to the sand, you can be on the beach within seconds, a flat easy stroll straight down the street, right out your front door, and yet there's none of the beach goers parking their cars out the front to bother you, like many beachside location realities.
Best of all, there is so much parking for your own cars and toys, with the original internally accessed single garage and driveway out front for your every day car, with a second driveway to another single carport for your other half's vehicle, plus a dual, drive thru carport to an oversized big double garage out the back.
The tandem carport is ideal for your boat and tinny, while the big shed out the back is the perfect spot to house and work on that classic car, store your trail bikes and your jetski, with one side dedicated to a big workshop space. Hot and cold water, power and lighting create other options too for sleeping overflow guests or kids who won't leave home.
There's also plentiful guest parking on Maneela Street, accessed via a sneaky little walkway right beside the house next door.
Besides its magic location, easy care reality, and phenomenal garaging for your cars, toys and so much more, inside is no disappointment either.
Renovated throughout, the original kitchen and bathroom are long gone, and so too is the old original carpet flooring.
Instead, expect contemporary plank style flooring from front to back, perfect for any allergy sufferers, or those expecting to be coming back and forth from the beach with sandy feet, although a fantastic hot and cold outdoor shower out the back should take care of that with kids or grandkids sand free by the time they get inside.
Two living areas, let you spread out, with open style living off the contemporary stone tops kitchen, rolling out to fabulous outdoor living, letting you entertain and live outdoorsd in style, with a split system air conditioned, dedicated and generous lounge room, the perfect spot to chillout and watch the cricket and footy in comfort, when you're not out and about!
The master or guest bedroom is separate from the other bedrooms and bathroom, with a handy second toilet and potential second bathroom where the laundry used to be.
An ideal weekender, or lifestyle focused downsize, spend your days out on the water, tuck all your toys away safely and securely out of the weather, and relax indoors and outside iin the most easy care of homes you can imagine, come and live the dream without blowing the budget!
