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
WAWA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 1,012 m² — that is not official geometry. 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 for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $833/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.

This lot's DA history

LARGE GREEN TITLE LOT - WITH 4X2 PLUS STUDIO & WORKSHOP
1,012sqm Green Title block with immediate rental income potential.
Zoned R15 with potential for a possible future rezone - See Melville Council Local Planning Scheme 6 https://www.melvillecity.com.au/our-city/connect-with-us/melville-talks/community-engagements/local-planning-scheme-6-review
This is one of those Applecross properties people wait decades for. A well-located, rectangular 1,012sqm Green Title block, held by the same family for more than 65 years and now ready for its next chapter.
Move straight in, rent it out, or live comfortably while you plan something special. There is space here to do it properly. Gardens, pool, generous outdoor living, without compromise.
The existing four bedroom, two bathroom home is neat, functional and well maintained. There is a large swimming pool, secure undercover parking for multiple vehicles, and a spacious detached studio and workshop that offers real flexibility. For those with vision, this space lends itself to a future granny flat or creative retreat.
Out the back, a lush lawn provides room for kids or pets, framed by a mature frangipani and productive lemon, lime and mandarin trees. It feels established, calm and lived in, in the best possible way.
Location is the headline here. Applecross is firmly established as one of Perth's premier suburbs, and arguably the most desirable south of the river.
You are around 550 metres walk from the river foreshore, 700 metres to Applecross Village cafés and shops, 900 metres to Applecross Primary School, and approximately 2km to Heathcote Reserve and South of Perth Yacht Club. Access to leading private schools, medical facilities, transport and lifestyle amenities is effortless.
Blocks of this size, in this part of Applecross, simply do not come up often. Demand here is consistent and long-term, driven by families, builders and investors who understand land value and location.
If you want to buy well, in a suburb that has proven itself time and again. 20 Simpson Street is the blue-chip address you've been searching for.
Viewing will not disappoint!
