No verification items generated for this record.

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.

Terrain

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, bushfire and heritage

Flood

Not retrieved

Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.

Bushfire

Heritage

Not detected — official

The official layer was queried and no heritage listed area was detected on this parcel (NSW ePlanning Spatial Viewer, retrieved 1 Sept 2026). Mapped layers change — this is the strongest all-clear Districts can give, not a certificate.

Capital growth

NSW

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: medium

Zoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Wollongong Local Environmental Plan 2009). Official parcel area about 7,076 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. If the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check, this lot can outperform a same-suburb house that is hold-as-is only. That is not a forecast. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

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. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $900/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.

What competition will it face?

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.

What does the yield actually look like?

Confidence: low

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

What this means for this property

Districts view

This looks more compelling as a land / capital-growth play than a pure yield play — if the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check.

Detail

Zoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Wollongong Local Environmental Plan 2009). Official parcel area about 7,076 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.

Achieved rent for this address has not been inferred. Gross yield on advertising copy is not the deal.

Nearby DA pipeline is unknown, so neighbourhood change is not in this verdict.

Evidence

What is known for this property

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

    Knownmedium

    Zoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Wollongong Local Environmental Plan 2009). Official parcel area about 7,076 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.

  • Honest achievable rent

    Knownlow

    This 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

    Unknown

    Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.

  • Why is this cheap?

    Knownmedium

    Official parcel about 7,076 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

    Unknown

    Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

  • Catalyst exposure

    Unknown

    Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

  • This lot's DA history

    Unknown

    No DA adapter returned applications for this parcel.

  • Statutory land value versus ask

    Unknown

    NSW Valuer General land values are not loaded for this property yet.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.

SOLD PRIOR TO AUCTION - OPEN HOME CANCELLED

"Jade Gates" Circa 1953

In the one family for over 65 years, and offered for sale for the first time...

This architect designed sandstone home with coastal and city views on a level elevated plateau, as part of an approximate 1.8 acre bushland allotment, is truly a rare find.

Read the full description

From the sandstone and wrought iron front gates, over the red gravel drive that leads to the portico entry you will be overcome by a feeling of anticipation about what is in store! Not a large home by today's standards, but the charm and elegance of a bygone era is evident the moment you enter.

The centrepiece of this open floor plan is the floor to ceiling, two-way sandstone fireplace, that has the living, dining and lounge as surrounds and the full length glass sliding doors opening onto the sunny north facing alfresco area and garden.

The upgraded Tasmanian Oak kitchen has popular island bar, a walk-in pantry and large stainless steel oven that the best chef in the world would be proud of. A versatile internal laundry/utility room plus separate W.C. completes the Eastern Wing.

The Western Wing offers two double sized bedrooms, master with walk-in robe, both opening to the expansive sunny outdoor area.

The tiled family bathroom has separate W.C., there is a study alcove and cloakroom adjacent to the entry foyer. All of this as well as ducted air conditioning!

As well as a gated tandem carport offering undercover access to the front door, there is the oversized 53m2 double drive-through garage with miles of storage space. There is an additional parking pad for a boat or caravan.

The perimeter of the garden surrounds are fully fenced making it ideal for children and pets to play safely on the expanse of lawn surrounding the home.

Solar panels are located on the terracotta tiled roof helping keep electricity bills down.

In a location that offers close proximity to Wollongong University and a short drive to beaches and the CBD, with easy access to main feeder roads north towards Sydney or South to Kiama and beyond, "Jade Gates" presents a myriad of possibilities.

Enjoy this much loved home as is, extend laterally or upwards in the future, or consider construction of a second dwelling (subject to council approval).

An opportunity to acquire a home like no other. We hope to meet you at one of our "Open Homes" or during an arranged inspection (minimum 24 hours' notice please).

Council Rates: $2,528.09 Per Annum
