No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
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.

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.
The official layer was queried and no heritage listed area was detected on this parcel (NSW ePlanning Spatial Viewer, retrieved 31 Aug 2026). Mapped layers change — this is the strongest all-clear Districts can give, not a certificate.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
NSWZoned Medium Density Residential · R3 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 295 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.
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
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $766/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.
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
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 Medium Density Residential · R3 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 295 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
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.

Development optionality of this lot
KnownmediumZoned Medium Density Residential · R3 (Lake Macquarie Local Environmental Plan 2014). Official parcel area about 295 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.

Nearby development pipeline
UnknownNSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.
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?
KnownmediumNo 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

Net yield / holding costs

Listing material
Listed by SOLD Real EstateSet in a beautifully quiet location, just a hop, skip and a jump away from the sand, surf, cafes and shops, this street facing home has been lovingly maintained, with a fantastic outdoor living and entertainment deck added in more recent times.
Completely freestanding, this brick and tile beauty enjoys its very own driveway, no strata fees or communal driveway levies, making it just like home, but without all the work.
Forget having to do endless yard work and housework, instead spend your days doing what you love, taking long walks on the beach, catching up with family and friends at your choice of cafes and watering holes, playing a round of golf or lawn bowls at nearby Belmont Golf Course, and generally living like you're on holidays 24/7.
Boasting light and airy, generous open plan living that flows from a terrific well presented, open style kitchen, outdoors to an oversized, covered rear entertainment deck, with a picturesque outlook, taking in blue skies and tree lined hilltops, overlooking an easy care backyard, perfect for your fur babies, grandbabies or little ones.
There's no common walls, so all rooms enjoy windows that let in plenty of natural light and fresh air.
Open the front door and the back, and you will enjoy Caves Beach's famously refreshing North Easterly sea breeze, which keeps you comfortably cool all summer long.
Catch perfect morning winter sun out front, as you enjoy your morning cuppa, and chase the sun around the backyard from North to West all winter long, switching it up in the summer.
Appreciate split system air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout, on those rare days the weather isn't playing ball.
Love the manicured lawns and gardens that are fully established, and require little attention to keep them looking great.
Delight in extra parking out front of your remote access single garage, letting you keep 2 cars off street, or your boat or jetski in the garage, and your car outfront.
Being your own driveway, with no shared grounds or strata, there's no reason you can't add a carport or change the garden around to create more off street parking for your boat or van.
So much more affordable than homes or apartments in the area, without the ongoing expenses of a home's maintenance, or the expensive strata fees of an apartment, this is wonderfully enjoyable, and wonderfully affordable real estate in ever popular Caves Beach, recently ranked in the top 10 beaches in NSW.
Enjoy a great holiday lifestyle, just an hour North of Sydney and 30 minutes South of Newcastle, at a price you'd pay for a knockdown nearby!
