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
TASZoned 12.0 Low Density Residential (Kingborough Interim Planning Scheme 2015). Official parcel area about 1,270 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.” Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $568/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 for this property. 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
KnownmediumZoned 12.0 Low Density Residential (Kingborough Interim Planning Scheme 2015). Official parcel area about 1,270 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 for this property.
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 1,270 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 LJ Hooker Pinnacle PropertyAnt's "Fluff-Free" Description...
Not Your Average Taroona Home...and That's Exactly the Point
Let's just call it what it is.
Former service station. Converted home. Self-contained apartment. Private block. Rivulet. Convict-built tunnel.
If you're after "normal", keep scrolling.
If you want something with space, flexibility and a story to tell, now we're talking.
The Good Stuff (and there's a fair bit going on):
* Originally a service station, now converted into a spacious and genuinely unique family home
* Flexible layout with 3 bedrooms in the main residence
* Multiple living zones including a large main living area and separate family and dining spaces
* Functional kitchen positioned to service the main living areas with good storage and usability
* Wood heater plus multiple heat pumps for year round comfort
* Mix of original character and practical updates throughout
The Bonus Play, This Is Where It Gets Interesting:
Council-approved self-contained apartment or unit, ideal for:
* Rental income
* Airbnb or short stay
* Teenagers who "need space"
* In-laws you like, but not that much
Apartment was renovated and approved through council, giving you flexibility with confidence
Separate zones allow for dual living without everyone living on top of each other
The Block, This Is Where It Gets Even Better:
* Approx. 1,000m2 of private land, which is getting harder to find in Taroona
* Your own rivulet running through the property, adding a proper sense of space and privacy
* Established natural setting with a peaceful, tucked-away feel
* Convict-built tunnel on site, yes, an actual tunnel. Not something you see every day
* Outdoor areas including deck and balcony spaces to take in the surroundings
The Practical Bits:
* 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms across the combined residence and apartment
* Mix of brick and cladding construction with corrugated iron roofing
* Heating includes wood heater plus multiple heat pumps
* Solar hot water system in place
* Mains water, sewer, power and NBN connected
* Off-street parking plus additional on-street options
* Council rates approx. $3,120 per year
* Zoned residential
Investor and Family Angle, Covers Both Bases:
* Ideal for intergenerational living with separation already built in
* Strong potential for dual income or live in one, rent the other
* Unique property that stands out in a crowded market, which helps with both resale and rental appeal
* Large block and flexible layout give future upside and adaptability
Location, Still Ticks the Boxes:
* Positioned in sought-after Taroona, just minutes from the Hobart CBD
* Close to schools, beaches and local amenities
* Lifestyle location that continues to perform with both families and investors
Final Word (the honest bit):
Look, it's not for everyone.
And that's exactly why it works.
The right buyer is going to walk in, see the flexibility, the land, the extra income potential and go, "Yep, this makes sense."
Everyone else will be too busy buying something beige.
Onwards and upwards to your special Taroona beauty!
