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.

Estimates only, at standard investor rates — no first-home or owner-occupier concessions applied. Not included: lenders mortgage insurance (usually applies when borrowing more than 80% of the price), loan application and settlement fees from your lender, the foreign-purchaser duty surcharge, and building insurance — in Queensland the property is at your risk from the first business day after signing, not from settlement. Verify with your conveyancer.
Stamp duty and transfer fees: New South Wales schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Pre-filled with Merimbula's advertised median rent — not a rent for this listing.
Gross yield is weekly rent × 52 ÷ price. Net yield subtracts operating expenses. Cashflow then subtracts interest-only interest on price × LVR. Tax, vacancies, and principal repayments are not included.
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 $479/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.
Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 4.0%. The yield that matters is the one on achieved rent, which has not been inferred for this address. Net yield (land tax, rates, insurance, vacancy) is not loaded. 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 One Agency Dwyer PropertiesOpportunities like this are few and far between. Positioned in one of Merimbula's most tightly held waterfront pockets, this spacious top-floor apartment offers something only a select handful of properties can – direct access to the pristine waters of Back Lake.
Imagine beginning each day with a paddleboard or kayak launched straight from your backyard, gliding through the calm waters as native birdlife fills the air before making your way around to Short Point to check the surf. Surrounded by tranquil bushland, sparkling waterways and an ever-changing natural landscape, this is a lifestyle that feels a world away while remaining just moments from the heart of town.
Beautifully maintained and presented in its original condition, the apartment exudes warmth and character. Rich earthy tones, exposed timber rafter ceilings and striking clerestory windows flood the living spaces with natural northern sunlight, creating a wonderful sense of openness and volume throughout.
Offering an impressive 93m² of exclusive area, the proportions are exceptionally generous and far exceed many two-bedroom apartments currently available on the market. The spacious open-plan living area flows effortlessly onto the waterfront balcony, where uninterrupted views across Back Lake provide the perfect backdrop for your morning coffee or evening glass of wine.
The original retro-style kitchen has been lovingly preserved, featuring ample cabinetry, a generous pantry, electric cooktop and oven, while reverse-cycle air conditioning ensures year-round comfort.
Accommodation comprises two generously sized bedrooms, both complete with built-in wardrobes, while the apartment also benefits from an exclusive undercover carport.
Convenience is equally impressive, with a mostly level stroll of approximately 900 metres to Merimbula's vibrant town centre, where you'll enjoy cafés, restaurants, boutiques and the picturesque lakeside boardwalk along Beach Street. Spencer Park is just approximately 300 metres away, offering a beautiful swimming beach, playground, parklands and outdoor fitness facilities.
Whether you're looking to secure a waterfront investment or simply appreciate one of Merimbula's most enviable locations, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
The property is being sold subject to an existing tenancy in place until May 2027.
Properties with direct waterfront access to Back Lake are exceptionally rare.
