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.

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: Queensland schedules from 2026-07-01. Ongoing council rates and land tax are not included.
Pre-filled with Macleay Island'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
QLDPlanning 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.” Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $464/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.
Gross yield if leased at the suburb aggregate is 3.1%. 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. 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.

Listing material
Listed by Macleay Island Property AgentsTucked into a wonderfully private 1,062m² waterfront block, this is a home that reveals itself gradually. Established gardens and mature trees surround the property, while beyond them Lucas Passage provides a peaceful backdrop and a lovely sense of separation from the world outside.
Arranged over two levels, the home offers far more than its four bedrooms and two bathrooms might initially suggest. There are multiple living and outdoor areas, good separation between the levels and an easy, relaxed character that feels particularly at home on Macleay Island.
Upstairs, timber look floors bring warmth to the light-filled living and dining area, with windows positioned to capture the leafy surrounds and glimpses of the water beyond. The contemporary kitchen is bright and practical, with generous bench space, extensive cabinetry, pantry storage and stainless-steel appliances.
Two bedrooms, a modern bathroom and separate toilet are also located on this level, together with air-conditioning and ceiling fans.
The partially covered rear deck is where the setting really comes into its own. Generously proportioned and looking through the treetops towards Lucas Passage, it is a beautiful place for a morning coffee, a long lunch or an evening spent watching the light change across the water.
Downstairs has a personality all of its own. With separate access, two further bedrooms, another living area, bathroom with a shower over bath, and laundry with kitchenette facilities, it provides valuable additional space for family, guests or those who simply appreciate having room to spread out.
And then there is the outdoor living.
A large, screened area creates an all-weather entertaining space overlooking the garden and water, complete with spa, while a private sauna adds something a little unexpected. Additional decks step out into the established gardens, with quiet corners to sit, relax and enjoy the surrounds.
The 1,062m² allotment has been landscaped with a wonderfully informal, tropical feel. Mature trees provide shade and privacy, lawns offer usable open space, and the home sits comfortably within its environment rather than dominating it.
Fully fenced with electric entry gates and a double carport, the practical elements have been taken care of as well.
Located within walking distance of the Macleay Island Golf Club and Corroboree Park, this is a home for buyers who value privacy, space and a connection with the outdoors. It isn't about manicured waterfront living — it is relaxed, leafy and distinctly island in character.
